I can see Jerry Jones doing his best Mr. Burns 'Excellent' impression right now.

Either the media hates N.E., or they decided to not get Kraft in this year over the backlash over Bill B?
Latter feels like a weird conspiracy theory, but who knows these days.

As an owner, surprising he's not in.

Seems like the Patriots are not loved by some of the voters.
Between cheating allegations and with Krafts off the field adult related stuff

The head shaking and/or outrage is high right now about the Captain Obvious omissions, but this is nothing new. The Hall's Board of Selectors have been biased since the 1960s.

Edit: And the extremely limited class size requirements of the Hall further compounds problems like these.

This is it right here ........ getting the Pete Rose treatment.

NGM got in because he made the NFL billions
Kraft only oversaw a dynasty
lets face it, Kraft while a scum bag is not really that much worse then NGM when you get right down to it

Could be Krafts issue with the jack shack in Florida

Wake and Shakes were bad for business.

No owner should be in the Hall Of Fame except for the owners that founded the league.

don't make me laugh
its all about power and PR
this way they make it look like they cared about Krafts dirt
Kraft is not well liked amongst the NFL or its sycophants in the media so no surprise at all
its all totally corrupt

"If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin"

Belichick, Vrabel and Cambell will exploit every weakness in the rule books. They will also exploit strengths like snow-blowering the spot point of a FG attempt.

Jerrys idea of exploitation is piping vanilla and cinnamon in the stadium to increase concessions.

Leave the Puerto Ricans out of this!!

Considering the number of Super Bowls and the fact that New England is back in one this year, this has to be backlash over the sexual misconduct by him. In today's cultural environment, it simply wouldn't be very PR to put him in. Belichick, to me, is about allegations of cheating.

If Jerry and Jimmy can get in with three Super Bowls, this is about more than Super Bowl success.

I am starting to believe there is a strong chance Tom Brady is not inducted on the first ballot.

We'll find out if they keep the same energy and they should if they're going to make them wait Bill Belichick and Kraft both will eventually get in maybe on the next round then Tom Brady needs to not get in on the first ballot either they need to keep it equal they were all part of it right if you want to call it a conspiracy in criminal law and they're holding them accountable then they were all involved...

I mean the second violation with the Deflategate wasn't that mostly on Tom Brady to know those balls didn't feel normal?

like I don't mind this as long as when tom brady comes up they do the same thing. To be hypocrites if he becomes first ballot...
