NFL 2025-26

Bob Knight was snubbed for the basketball HoF. Pissed him off royally and he refused to be nominated for years after. He did eventually get in but long after it should have happened.
 
It's always the ****** Indianapolis Colts.

In ESPN’s report, it revealed former Indianapolis Colts general manager Bill Polian lobbied for voters to make Belichick “wait a year” as punishment for Spygate.

Polian, one of the 50 voters for the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class, denied the report in a conversation with SI’s Matt Verderame.

However, in a separate conversation with ESPN’s Don Van Natta, Polian claimed he couldn’t remember if he voted for Belichick, and said he was 95% sure, but couldn’t say with 100% certainty.

Maybe the NFL HoF voting system needs to work like a run off to narrow it down before a final vote (if they are not already doing that).

I am thinking that some voted sentimentality and used their votes for others assuming that their Bill Belichick vote was not needed because he was a slam dunk.
If they had thought that Belichick was at any risk of not making the cut, they would have voted differently.

I think that it is obvious that the NFL HoF will take a credibility hit. It will actually cast some doubts and take away a little of the prestige that was originally intended for any of the actual inductees in spite of their great careers.
 
The problem with the HoF's, MVP's and other voted upon awards is unavoidable. In the end it isn't always about hitting the walk off home runs, or scoring the last minute touchdowns or all of the other glorious moments.

The voters, including many who had never been on the same battlefields get to have their say. That doesn't always have to be a terrible thing most of the time they will get it right, and the overwhelming majority of the voted-upon recipients are worthy.

But still the same that kind of stuff will lead to some WTF, head shaking moments, even on a repeated a bases.

Winning a championship and other on-the-field accomplishments are just more tangible and undeniable.
 
My job should have paid me triple pay for working tonight and not allowing me to watch it. Or maybe I should have paid them for giving me a reason to miss it.
