NFL News Belichick not voted into the HOF

[Guts]

Kraft isn't petty like that. That dude helped define his family's legacy for generations. Sure was it bitter at the end, of course it was. It always is.

He should put out a statement

 

[turkeyneck]

Bill is going to go scorched-earth on someone’s ass over this. Probably Polian’s, among others. Wait for some new book to come out in a few months exposing some skeletons.

BB owes the NYJFL nothing at this point. I hope he blasts them with everything he knows about the whole pathetic lot.

 

[Ross12]

if he is not, then he should be

I would really like Kraft to come out and say something about this.

 

[Hugepatsfan]

I get that he lost his marbles at the end, but this is a disgrace. Hopefully the sheer absurdity of this will cause people to take a step back and think of the absurd degree to which it's become fashionable to dump on his legacy. For a while every time his name has been brought up it's to make fun of the washed up old man, but at least for a bit now the discourse should be pointing out what an obvious HOFer he is.

Side note, this is the best possible thing that could have happened to Bill for public perception.

People know this is wrong and there will be uproar about it, Bill isn't an easy guy to feel sorry for this will definitely do that.

It does makes people remember just how great he was.

This could be good for the AFC Champion Patriots too in a couple of weeks. "Us against the world" is a thing now and the Hall just legitimized that mindset. I think the Pats players and coaches including Vrabel who played for Bill are paying close attention to all of this.

Should Bill Belichick be a unanimous 1st ballot HoF enshrinee? Absolutely
Why isn't Bill Belichick a unanimous 1st ballot HoF enshrinee? Bill Belichick
Can't say I'm surprised but also can't say it doesn't piss me off

Bill Belichick wasn't voted in because of jealous pricks like Bill Polian. You know. The MOFO who concocted Deflategate.. Spygate was also a big nothing burger that the league had to make into something because of jealousy. Nothing more.

The fact that the league punished the Patriots and not the Jets, Packers, or a host of other teams that had also been doing the same thing is proof of THEIR bias.

 

[Uptown]

Ludicrous; he’s literally the epitome of what the HOF is supposed to represent.

This was payback for the perception that Bill was mean to them. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is why you can’t trust humans. If there are that many people who want to deny BB the HoF based and feelings, it tells you everything you need to know about how emotional people are. I’ll go even further ; “tough guy” men are the most emotional babies on the face of the earth.

 

[DaBruinz]

The fact that Bill Polian, who broke rules by playing CROWD NOISE over the Lucas Oil Stadium PA system to give his team an ACTUAL unfair advantage and he wasn't punished for it, is the one who led the charge is ridiculous. That guy is one of the biggest f'in cheats in the league.

I was just thinking about that.

Maybe only 10-15 currently rostered players were coached here by Bill, but Vrabel can tie the concept that the whole league and media are against them to this.

“They hate us. They’ve been counting us out all year. Every week they said we haven’t played anyone. Every playoff game, they picked against us. After every win they say we just ‘got lucky’. This week so far it’s been about how Seattle is going to blow us out. Now they’re keeping the greatest coach of all time out of the Hall just because he won too much here and they don’t like when we win too much. Well **** them. Let’s give them one more reason to cry.”

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

My decision to step away from the NFL after this season looks better and better each day. What a joke.

At least the public is on our side for the most part.

 

[Guts]

Even Kermit thinks he should be in

 

[Mack Herron]

His accomplishments speak for themselves.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Brady should say something, don't be a company man for once in your life and be a bigger man than petty Bill could ever be.

Just say what Mahomes said.

Next Polian will be making him wait for a year for "deflategate" ********.

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Even noted Patriots hater Ryan Clark knows this is ridiculous.

 

[Ross12]

Even Kermit thinks he should be in

It’s pretty bad when we are out here locking arms with JJ Watt, Ryan Clark and Kermit over something

 

[203Pat]

Crapped on them for 20 years and they’re getting their revenge.

Vrabel honestly doesn't seem to have a great relationship with Bill and tries to distance himself from him and the old Patriots dynasty every chance he gets. I highly, highly doubt it will be any part of his motivation.

On media day they'll ask him and all the guys who played for him what they think and all the players will say he's awesome and should be and move on. Vrabel probably won't even say that, just that he's only concerned with this game.
