They've had no credibility since they haven't put 37 in.
He was the best safety of his era, hands down - it wasn't really that close.

I now wonder what will happen with Brady. Will they deny the GOAT a first ballot HOF vote because of the bogus inflate gate charge?

They probably would have tried but I doubt now

Jimmy Johnson said straight out "Some of them are already lying about their vote." He knows. We all ****ing know. It's disgusting.

Jimmy is a real one. I’m a fan.

This is an embarrassment for the HOF and the voters. Obvious bias against the Pats. If Belichick does make it next year, he shouldn’t show up. But I have a feeling he might not make it for a while. Too much bias, and the voters have an agenda, they make it about themselves.

Disdain = losing.

How come none of you can come up with particulars? Specifics? What exactly?

I don’t see any reason to catalog things he’s done or come up with examples. I’m not trying to convince you or anyone else. You have your opinion and I have mine.
Imo he’s a first ballot HOF coach who got screwed by petty people, which he is partially to be blamed for by how he treated people.

Brady won’t get in as a first ballot, for the same reason Belichick didn’t, bias and agenda.

Those media people think they are so important. Most aren’t fit to vote for the Hall of fame. They are so obnoxious.

Theses votes should be public.

I think we can guess who is one of the nay voters........

I don't think the idiots who didn't vote for BB expected the kind of support he is getting. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Goodell suggests that there be a revote that would put BB into the HOF. Not sure the NFL likes the bad publicity during the two weeks before the super bowl.

The Omissioner will do whatever the owners tell him to do.

If that happened the narrative among the haters would be that the Patriots "cheated" to get him in the Hall..... I would love to hear the crafted answer when Goodell is asked about it at his annual press conference as to why BB didn't get in.

That's not going to happen. Bill's not getting in because he's a **** to people.

Regardless, the HoF voters just turned themselves into the Cooperstown voters. A joke.

That's a half-decent AI voice.

Feels like double jeopardy. The league already handed down punishments for these "crimes" that were served - suspensions, fines, draft pick forfeitures, etc. Why punish these men again for something they've already "served time" for?

Polian dismisses his own cheating (pumping in crowd noise) and gets on his soap box about Belichick's cheating.

Mr. Integrity: Bill Polian's encore performance while employed by Indy was his Suck For Luck season (2-14)

Note: He was fired soon after locking up the #1 pick.

Oh, yeah. He punched that disabled guy in a wheelchair and blamed on that sweet man, Ron Borges. I also remember him rolling his eyes at reporters a few times. Total *******, that must have really hurt those ladies to the core of their being. And then there was that time, he said, "************," under his breath after a really, really intelligent question. That was mean to the billions of Christians. What a fecking *******.

“It’s absurd,” Portnoy said on Wake Up Barstool. “This is what happens when you create a society of losers, of people who basically refuse to acknowledge greatness, who complain, make excuses, ***** and moan. Bill Polian is certainly a leader amongst those. He’s a liar and a coward. He’s somebody who could never beat the Patriots, they changed the rules of football because of Bill Polian. They couldn’t beat the Patriots. They whine, they complain, much like after the Patriots beat the Broncos in bad weather.

“You hear people that want to get rid of bad weather. Here’s the problem in this country, it’s not just the Patriots. When you have great teams who win almost universally, you look and they feel ‘oh they cheated, they did this, they did that.’ I’ve seen it firsthand more than anybody. I’ve seen it with the New England Patriots. I’ve seen it with Michigan. The Houston Astros, I never complained You have people who won’t look themselves in the mirror and say, ‘I can’t beat that guy. I have to get better. I have to be the best I can be. Hats off to that team.’ The New England Patriots, who kicked our butts for two decades. It wasn’t spygate, it wasn’t Deflategate, it’s none of that. You got to look in the mirror.”

On the whole, during his legendary coaching career, Belichick had a 302-165 overall record to go with a 31-13 mark in the postseason. His 302 regular-season wins put him third all-time behind George Halas (318) and Don Shula (328) on the all-time winningest coaches list. Counting the postseason, Belichick sits just behind Shula’s 347 total victories on the all-time list. Not to mention, he had six Super Bowl titles as a head coach of New England and two additional championships as the DC of the New York Giants.

“And all these people across the country will make excuses and complain, and they can’t admit that there’s a superior team, players, athletes, who do things better. This is years of people building up and yes, Bill Polian is the face of it,” Portnoy said. “He’s a liar. He’s a coward. How does Bill Polian go from 100% saying, ‘I voted for Belichick,’ and then he does an interview 10 minutes later, he’s like, ‘Well, I think 95%.’

“They should take his jacket, burn it. He should be kicked out of the Hall of Fame. He’s an embarrassment … Sit back and be like these teams are great. Give them their flowers in real time. There’s too many fans, too many executives, too many people, not just with the Patriots across the world, who make excuses and refuse to kneel down when they’ve been conquered. Bill Polian is a leader in that, and this is what happens.”
