| 0:00.0 | We are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big |
| 0:07.2 | 1050.com. |
| 0:08.8 | Sam Webb, I rewind in trouble on the other side. |
| 0:10.9 | So talking to EA about Bill Belichick not being a first ballot Hall of Famer. |
| 0:15.0 | So does this mean that Tom Brady's not a first ballot hall of fame or two? |
| 0:18.2 | I mean, if you use the same deflategate spy gate rationale. |
| 0:24.0 | Well, I guarantee that there will be some jack, you know what, people that vote that way. |
| 0:29.4 | It's absurd. |
| 0:30.5 | I mean, I think EA put it in a really good way because we've had that conversation right |
| 0:35.0 | about the Hall of Very Good versus the Hall of Fame. |
| 0:43.1 | And there are exceptions to this rule. yes if you cannot tell the story about your sport without talking about that person in a significant manner that person probably belongs in the |
| 0:47.2 | Hall of Fame again there are exceptions but they're very rare exceptions I mean Bob |
| 0:53.0 | Yucro was a 200 hitter but he became a broadcaster Hall of Fame. So he still is a Hall of Famer, right? You know what I mean? Like there are exceptions to the rule, but Bill Belichick, even if you are on the, oh, he could have done it without Tom Brady. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, he won a lot of Super Bowls. He did. And any coach that has that many rings and that many wins is a first ballot Hall of Famer. And if you can have your biases and you can have your this and you're that. But if I was a Hall of Fame, a college football Hall of Fame voter, you tell me that I would never vote for a Buckeye in the first ballot that deserved it there. I guarantee there are first ballot Hall of Famers, right? Like, you're going to do it. Like, even Sparty has first ballot Hall of Famers in football. |
| 2:21.1 | Like, you're going to do it. Like, even Sparty has first ballot Hall of Famers in football. Like, you can't let your biases because you, all they cheated. No, they didn't really. And by the way, you can trace the, yeah, and it's all because I was it, Bill Pollian doesn't like them and somebody else doesn't like them.. So they campaign with the politic their guys. And so they're not getting, he's not getting in this year. We're sending him a lesson. It's almost as dumb, Sam, as nobody wants to, nobody can have a 100% ballot in the Baseball Hall of Fame because Babe Ruth didn't have it back in the day. First of all, he should have had it back in the day. But why would a, you know, who, it's so dumb. If you're a Hall of Fame or we know it and then you get in. And we are getting to an era now where I'm hearing guys getting the Hall of Fame. Like, that guy's in the Hall of Fame now? I'm like, I guess he deserves it. Yeah, we had this conversation about Jeff Kent. |
| 2:18.6 | Like, okay. |
| 2:21.0 | But now you're, but it's kind of asinine to have that conversation about a guy who has more rings than fingers on a hand. |
| 2:29.2 | Yeah, if you're going to be consistent, then you got to keep Tom Brady out. |
| 2:33.3 | Which is, again, assonine, right? |
| 2:35.5 | It's dumb. |
| 2:36.8 | They both are first ballot, like, unanimous first ballot Hall of Famers based on their |
| 2:41.5 | credentials. |
| 2:43.4 | It's dumb. |
