So if Deflate Gate is enough to keep out Belichick, then Sean Payton has absolutely zero shot, right?

Sean will get in because he pissed off the league, not the media.

Bill out of the hall of fame and Shadeur Sanders making the pro bowl with 7TD/10INTs.
Unreal.

Like Shane Gillis ESPY joke:

"Shedeur Sanders had his jersey number retired at Colorado this year, and people are saying it's because of nepotism, because of his father, and it's not. It's because he went 13 and 12 over his career and he almost won the Alamo Bowl. Definitely not nepotism, right?"

My take is this, and I don't watch NFL due to the obviously cheating and game altering due to sports betting, but I could say he's a big reason why. He benefited from the tuck rule, which is a blatently stolen championship. They did well, but shouldn't have been there. Then they went unpunished for Spygate and Inflatagate. You say 8x, I say five. And I also say zero. The NFL dismantled the Saints over not cheating, and let their head coach get illegally tampered with by the Dolphins, and then cheated them out of a Superbowl that Payton had mortgaged the Saints future for (justifiably so). So frick him. He should be stripped of all his titles, because he most likely cheated to get those too.

He got screwed because the media members who vote think he is a jerk (which he may be but that is beside the point). This is a bogus process. There is no justification for denying him first ballot entry. His credentials put him at the top.

Dude went to the playoffs with Mac Jones. That’s worthy of HoF status right there.

Got caught cheating....

Twice, as I recall.

Caught three times, including taping Rams practices prior to the 2001 Super Bowl.

Goodell conducted an "investigation" and then burned the evidence.

How is that relevant? It wasn’t Brady, it was the fact that he was an old man on his way out.
