Billy B...not 1st Ballot HoF. Will Ben also get screwed over?

Has nothing to do with deserving or earning, what is needed is an act of contrition. After Goodell destroyed the tapes and said everything was closed he said Bill and Bob would admit they made a mistake and apologize. Belichick said he never agreed to that and still maintains that he did nothing wrong.

Ben took his punishment, he apologized and did all that was required of him. I dont think they will make an example of him

 

Ward should be viewed as his impact on the game and not just his recieving numbers but unfortunately that's what the voters look at more. Hines might not have had as big of an impact as Blount but he did change how the game was played and they created rules to limit his devastating blocking.
