As usual, Bill Polian is a piece of **** and a liar.

Yeah that's just classic dodging the question. Totally guilty for campaigning against BB.

The media absolutely does not hate Brady the way they hate Belichick. Like it's not even close. If Bill was not known as adversarial with the media and journalists, we wouldn't even be talking about Spygate or any other possible reasons why they would do this to him. They'd just say "meh it's Bill Belichick, why are we debating". It's like I said, a last chance to get a pound of flesh while they still can before he's beyond their reach forever.

Yeah and Tom is getting more and more beloved league wide since he's improving in the booth
His Tampa stint also made people appreciate him more

BB is definitely more hated

I never really like Bill Belichick I always thought he wan an a**hole but him not being a 1st ballot Hall of famer is absolutely horse sh*t.

Guys im sure Bill is having a really hard time right now.

Technically, he’s already in. That game plan from Super Bowl XXV has been in the HOF for years.

I don't think the odds are zero that Bill declines his induction next year. That would be a really bad look on the HOF.

If anyone on the planet who is petty enough to do something like that it's him. Can you imagine?

I hope he does

The one silver lining here is the whole world dogpiling Polian

Pro Football Hall of Farce... the league is not known for doing things that make sense and they just torpedoed the whole institution...

I'm glad Brady rang in with a supportive message...

resdubwhite · Jan 28, 2026

I don't understand. Why have the conflab to discuss merit for members. Surely each individual member of the group can make their minds up. Have a discussion on the merits and demerits of candidates is open to gross abuse. ANyway, **** Polian. **** Dungy. **** Borges. We know how those 3 dbags voted.

DarrylS · Jan 28, 2026

This is absurd to deny a coach that masterminded 6 SB wins and 9 conference championships.
The vitriol towards him runs deep, without regard he did it his way and we are all the better for it.
He left with a bad taste in our mouths, primarily as he refused to change with the times, fell of quickly and his idiotic fallout with #12.
Without regard there is no reason why he should not have been a near unanimous selection to the HOF...

neckroll#14 · Jan 28, 2026

They have their priorities backwards... BB did not KAG so he can't get in...

The reaction by everyone is so severe, I can see a world where the voters reconvene to “re assess” their votes

DC Patriots · Jan 28, 2026

Super note from Brady. Hit the right tone. Whole thing is absurd, suspect most of the protest votes thought “he’ll get in but I can say I didn’t vote for him.”

Clowns. Whole thing only undercuts the legitimacy of the hall.

I'm hoping Tom comes out with a statement this morning. I'm hoping that team HOFs also come out in support. I doubt RKK says anything. Goodell will probably get involved within the next 24 hours. Its such a terrible look for the institution.

Yeah isn’t the official result next week?

They can change their vote and say the report that he didn’t make it in was erroneous

Tom might drop something on X.

Kraft is probably happy BB isn't going in the same year he is.

Goody won't get involved. He has no reason to.

I'm kind of expecting the weasels at NYJFL to take this out. "What was reported was a clerical error in vote counting. There were actually zero No votes. Can we all move on now?"
