NFL News Belichick not voted into the HOF

[TommyD4207]

Some of these guys voted in Roger Craig over Belichick and others just last week.

Heck, Craig doesn't even deserve it more than Stanley Morgan.

If Terrell Davis is in, Roger Craig ABSOLUTELY deserves to be in.

I said earlier this was a possibility. Belichick got lumped in with 3 candidates who have been waiting for decades who probably are going to get boxed out as more people come down the pipeline and some people might want to clear the logjam before guys like Craig and Anderson are crowded out

Honestly this also unites the fanbase.

While there is definitely a difference of opinion on when Belichick should have left as HC of NE, not getting into that, there is no doubt amongst us that Bill is a first ballet HoF and its complete BS he didnt get in.

If Terrell Davis is in, Roger Craig ABSOLUTELY deserves to be in.

Craig deserves to be in. 3x SB champion, OPOY, 2x All Pro, All Decade Team for the 80's. He should have never been waiting this long.

Part of the process ****ed Bill he's next to guys who have waited 20 years or more POST ELIGIBILITY while he the recent rule change meant he only waited 1 extra year post being out of the league.

It sucks, but I think he absolutely got railroaded because some people didn't like him, some wanted to punish him for Spygate, and some wanted to help guys who had less of a chance and viewed the lack of a waiting period of eligibility for Bill as a tough pill to swallow over guys who waited so long. That created just enough for the votes needed.

I have not really liked Simmons for years (I used to LOVE him), but he could not be more right on.

 

[Patjew]

retweeting to make sure the more pedantic out there don't miss this:

He sure loves the word "unequivocally."

I could go on and on about spygate (death sentence for jaywalking) or deflategate (didn't happen completely made up) but that has been done so many times it's just an echo chamber in here that does nothing for the public perception that needs to be changed. If that's the reason for this egregious snub then it's just proof why the Pats needed to push back harder years ago when those things came out.

The closest thing I could think about as an example for how the voters should have voted is Ray Lewis. I hate the guy. He either murdered or covered up the murder of two people. Is that someone I want as a role model and people to look up to? Hell no! And way worse then any gates or being "mean" to the media. If I was on the committee when he was up for discussion, there wouldn't have even been a discussion "Ray Lewis?" Yes. Next? You know why? Cuz even the most ardent hater would rank Ray at no lower then the 5th best MLB of all time. He deserves in, no question. Same as Bill and I hope anyone who voted no rightfully gets shamed and taken to task. This is mean girls level of petty backstabbing salacious ********.

True that. We all have our words.
Have I mentioned you're a real mensch?

So this guy did what the MLB guys do and just vote for the guys that needed a boost. Wild

Asante Samuel is that list. I'm not even going to look up what he said. Ok, maybe I will.

I don't care what "Celebrities" are on that list. Especially not LeFraud, DeSantis or Darius Rucker. The Patriots players on that list will be seen as biased. The names that matter are the likes of JJ Watt, Gerald McCoy, Wade Phillips, Patrick Mahomes, Ryan Clark, Emmanuel Acho, Jeff Saturday, Willie Colon, and Jay Gruden.. Those will carry more weight because they have no direct ties to BB.

 

[DaBruinz]

Thats just silly. It would be far easier to just quote the measuring of all balls the NFL did the following year to prove the Patriots were cheating.

He topped it off by posting an AI answer about whether or not it's easier to play with a deflated football. Then he tried to claim that the Pats played the 2nd half with a deflated football after I pointed out that Brady played better in the 2nd half.. I purposely left off that the refs had taken the balls and reinflated them and watched him blunder right into it.

 

[Bella*chick]

I have not really liked Simmons for years (I used to LOVE him), but he could not be more right on.

I got sick of him too. I used to listen to his Rewatchables podcast and he irritated me there too. He gets a lot of stuff wrong and says some dumb stuff.

But he’s right on here.

This nigga be lying

This nigga be lying

This is what happens when you spend your entire professional life being a jealous liar.
Nobody believes you.

 

[ViperGTS]

Eli Manning didn't make it in either. Now I don't think he should, nor should Brees but Brees will make it in.

 

[PlainOldEd]

FWIW noted Pats haters ESPN had a 10 minute segment on how ridiculous this is and, if the current process allows for this result, then the process is broken and/or the voters need to be held accountable.

 

[TommyD4207]

Eli Manning didn't make it in either. Now I don't think he should, nor should Brees but Brees will make it in.

Brees has eye-popping numbers, more 5000 yards seasons than anyone else AND a ring. That's a hall of famer to me.

 

[ViperGTS]

Brees has eye-popping numbers, more 5000 yards seasons than anyone else AND a ring. That's a hall of famer to me.

Played 9 games per in a dome...I dunno man. Brees never struck me as a HoFer. Then again I have a pretty high bar.

BB was a better HC than Craig was a RB.
