NFL News Belichick not voted into the HOF

[Guts]

again probably the best thing to happen to BB reputation ironically
Everyone minus a few haters on his corner

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

He has as many rings as them - combined. Noll, Landry and Shula

Complete joke. The hate is real

 

[maust]

Belichick isn't in because of Belichick? What the hell does that mean? You've validated the Spygate nonsense.

dafuq?
It has nothing to do with that nonsense and I'm certainly not validating anything. I'm simply (at least I thought it was simply) agreeing the voters were personally biased against Belichick because he was a richard to many of them and showed some of the others up. There is no football reason for BB not to be a 1st ballot HoF'er, least of all the phonied up 'gates.' Bias, personal and petty, is what did for him any BS about 'gates' is just that

If you think about it, they just proved how great Bill was

 

[VrabelJr]

It’s insane that a doofus like Polian is in the HOF and even has a vote. His claim to fame is winning one ****ing Super Bowl, the flukiest and ****tiest Super Bowl of all time against Rex Grossman.

 

[Pape]

Tom needs to say something about this. Hopefully he will soon.

Bet he doesn't say a ****ing thing that isn't chocker block full of doublespeak with no actual substance

 

[Zoomnbyu]

He's in her Hall of Fame. Good on him.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I understand the "why'.

The "why" shouldn't be a blocker to the HoF - not with his credentials.

This has vendettas and grudges written all over it.

The HoF voters really need to get over themselves and re-evaluate their purpose and standards for voting.

You’ve seen Ron Borges and Ben Volin, right? They may not be the actual HOF voters, but the profession that chooses the HOF voters are filled with people like them.

Winning on and off the field

 

[CantonJester]

It's hurts the HoF more than it does BB. The Halls of Medicore ( All sports are now, look who MLB just elected into theirs).

Someone should start a HoF that includes legendary players only. Players who had posters, players who were top of their profession for a long, long time. Never should a player that a large majority say "good player, but..." get into the HoF. Might only have 10 people in it, but it would be the true Hall of Fame.

Bert Breer on Early Edition just now said that Polian not only argued againstt Belichick's candidacy, but he also spoke strongly in favor of Kraft's candidacy. Interesting...

 

[Mayeniac]

Ian is probably happy now. He can take his kids to the Hall of Fame without having to feel embarrassed about someone who dates under half his age.

 

[NashuaPats]

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.

Also, in the 2006/7 AFC Championship game in Indy, when it was widely known the Patriots players were struggling with the flu, he jacked up the thermostat in the visitors locker room to nearly 90 degrees prior to halftime causing most of the defensive starters to cramp up and miss the second half of the game. That cheating pos.

Onto the ignore list you go. somebody just ban this troll already @Ian @patchick @mike_usagisan

I didn't know what the heck you were talking about. I also always thought Bill was that way to protect his team and to win.

Not true if Kraft is there. But that one didn't quite appeal to you, did it...

 

[Bella*chick]

I’m sorry but the HOF has completely lost credibility with this stunt. What a bunch of spiteful a-holes.

 

[upstater1]

Apparently, Belichick is taking this much much worse than even I would expect.

This is from a close friend in the coaching community who spoke to him:

“No man cares more about the history of football than Bill. Today is a sad day for the league he loves.”
