Okay, I'm just going to come clean. I didn't vote for Bill Belichick to get a gold jacket.

Mostly because I don't have a vote, but I want to make sure tough guys like Jimmy Johnson don't call me a coward.

Yes, if you missed it, Jimmy Johnson, coach, husband, spokesman for weiner growth pill extends,

and now Empath is mad. Big mad. Bill Belichick didn't get into the Hall of Fame.

Fine, sure, we need an investigation of what happened here in an overhaul of the process. But can everybody settle down a little bit? I get it right-wing pundit slash hot taker who doesn't watch much football, Stephen A, and others think this is a disgrace. And yeah, somebody who loves the yardstick history provides, I'm of course interested in the hall,

self-serious and pious as it is. And as I've said a million times, you're either a Hall of Fame

or you aren't. We don't need a 15-year lag to reassess the situation. Excess inventory

at one position or because some senior player's window is expiring shouldn't be factors.

I'll tell you what, from here on out, I'm just going to make a list and we'll go off of that. Or we can just stick with this biased and vindictive process. Tio is a top three or so receiver of the Super Bowl era, and he had to wait because he did sit-ups and some other hooey and applesauce. You gotta understand. Ken loves the little bit of nuance,

the Hall of Fame plus standard of not just getting in, but doing it on the first ballot.

Ooh, you're extra great now. Or famous? Yes, even in the Hall of Fame, there clicks, and yes,

it's very dumb. Same goes for the baseball Hall of Fame, not having the home runner hit king.

Voters are being petty with the weight of some authority that has no transferable power

outside this one little environment.

They're lunch ladies.

All that said, I do love Bob Kraft and Tom Brady leading the course for Belichick,

the martyr.

Who's done more to diminish him than those two?

Craft says Belichick's the best coach of all time. Then why'd you fire him? You fired the best coach ever. Do I have that right? And Brady says if Belichick's not a first ballot hall of famer, there's really no coach that should ever be a first ballot hall of famer. Okay, but again, Tom, this kind of suggests you think Belichick is the greatest coach of all time, which you actively disproved when you showed him up by moving to Tampa and winning a title nine minutes later. Obviously, the coach who's won more Lombardies than anyone, including Lombardi needs to be in the hall, and I'm quite sure he will be soon. But Brady's time in Tampa, plus Belichick's Cleveland years, plus whatever's going on with him and Jordan at UNC, all say the same thing. The emperor's got no clothes. No, wait,

it's worse than that. He's not nude. He's got that ratty sweatshirt on, which by the by is a good

metaphor for what his head coaching run is. Stayed permanently sure, but iconic. Without Brady, though, that sweatshirt

is just something that's been around a long time with lots of holes in it. And now, as people
