When Bill Belichick was passed over many excused the slight due to voters only being able to vote for three names and some players perhaps being on their last ballots. It was unfair to make them wait it was argued. But now that Robert Kraft has been likewise passed over by the voters - that excuse no longer holds water.
A price has to be paid for this travesty.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Football Hall of Fame releases list of semifinalists and next steps.
- SpaceX gets approval for second WiFi-6 router for Starlink. Price seems in line too.
- 10 ways Disney can improve their box office numbers this year.
- Vitalik's Techno-optimism. Long but well worth the read.
A max of 5 players can be elected and from the newcomers I would vote for Darrelle Revis, James Harrison, and Joe Thomas. From the returning players I'd support Zach Thomas (he was Brian Urlacher without the hype) and Clay Matthews (who like Thomas was wrongly overshadowed by more hyped but not more productive players).
For contributors I really hope Robert Kraft finally gets his due and gets elected. He's not getting any younger and it's a crime that Jerry Jones was inducted before Robert Kraft.
The big problem with the Hall election process is the use of an advocate to plead the player's case. Get a bad advocate and miss induction. It's a very flawed process.
