You get the point, there are many players in the HOF with legal issues prior to induction that didn't preclude such and as I articulated earlier, character isn't a criterion for HOF induction, should be determined strictly based on what occurred between the white lines, on the football field i.e. on the merits.

0% chance Sharper is even on a ballot.

Sam Mills is a good choice.
