    Belichick is NOT a first ballot HOF'er?

    What a complete joke. He only has, what, 6 Super Bowl rings as HC and has > 300 wins, but he's not a HOF'er? Well, then I guess no HC deserves it and they should remove all other HCs. I don't like him and he was an ass to the press, which this is probably the result of that, but, dang, leaving him out of the HOF is a complete farce. Just goes to show you that, even in sports, personal agendas and bias are still very much in play.

    Along similar lines, both Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds (at least) should be in the MLB HOF. They were both obvious first ballot HOF even before they were suspected/accused of PED use. Bonds was 400/400 well before he blew up and started hitting tons of homers. Clemens was arguably the best pitcher in baseball for 10+ years prior to any suspicions. C'mon - quit with the personal affront and look at the numbers. They both deserve to be HOF. And, of course, Pete Rose does, also.

    My money is on spygate as the reason and to a lesser degree the reasons you don't like him

      Honestly, I didn't really care a whit about SpyGate. I was not a fan of his because he came across as an arrogant SOB who acted like it was everyone else's privilege to hear him grunt a syllable or two. Personal feelings aside, in what universe does Belichick not belong in the HOF? Sure, he'll get in but it's only because enough media/voters are so thin-skinned that they want to withhold the first ballot election. HOF voters who didn't vote for him should have their voting rights forfeited. You cannot make any logical case that Belichick doesn't deserve to be in the HOF. One incident like SpyGate nullifies 300+ wins and 6 SB rings? C'mon. Those voters are just being super petty and I hope the Hall revokes their voting privilege.
