He won nothing and fell on hard times with Pete Carroll. BB saved that franchise. But Dooms, who we all have internet love for, has cornered himself with his ridiculous argument. I'm willing to bet that he had more vodka delivered last night......
That franchise was dead dead dead until Kraft bought it and turned it around. At the tiller he directed that boat to 11 super bowls and counting.

Will you have the same opinion/stance for Tom Brady when his time comes
Brady continued winning super bowls long after the cheating and even with TB. It's unquestioned. BB stopped winning anything after TB left. I'm not pearl clutching over cheating Bill OR Kraft. I'm fine with them missing out for a year. TB won't miss out.

The NFL and HoF has forever tarnished what little reputation it had left
Bills and Jets fans disagree. THEY along with Miami fans think letting cheaters in the HoF tarnishes it. So do lots of other fans from all over.

He had nothing to do with the super bowls, other than helping Belichick out of the NYJ situation

brady, belichick, and kraft all belong in the HOF

if NFL films did a movie about the history of the NFL, you wouldn't be able to tell the story without the 3 of them. what they did is insane and how long they did it together

tom brady was the most talented of the 3, but he never took a snap on defense

consistency, consistency, consistency. year in, year out. dante scarnnecchia was the OL coach for many years, but every other coach rotated. bill o'brien, brian daboll, charlie weiss, romeo crennell, josh mcdaniels, matt patricia, eric mangini, joe judge, brian flores... front office guys like nick caserio, scott pioli, dimitroff, bob quinn... that adds up, yet the ship kept sailing

kraft has done well at developing the patriots brand, built a stadium without help from the public, and let the football guys that he hired make the football decisions... ultimately up until the end when he chose bill over brady

HoF had no problem voting in players from a team that massively abused steroids in the 70's
And I have no problem with that either.

I simply have no dog in the fight and just enjoy giggling at old ladies clutching their pearls over something that has NO effect on them whatsoever. I'm hoping one of them can point me to where the mean ole HoF hurt them. It's ridiculous.

Here's what I think is ridiculous.....a football guy such as yourself, who ran the Wing T....the Wishbone.....played in the mud and the snow and the guts........defending the indefensible. And not only that, you're such a hypocrite that you won't hold the same stance with Brady. I'm giving you an out with the vodka theory.....I suggest you take it.

You didn't read where I made my case FOR Brady? Or are you just a straw man erector?

I can read...but your case against BB is that he cheated....but don't apply the same standard to Brady. You can't even see the contradiction of your argument.

I don't have a case against BB. I've only been speculating why he might have missed by one vote. Some people say sPyGaTe, some say he rubbed a lot of media the wrong way for years, some say his unlikeable, gruff personality.

However I like my conspiracy idea much better. Induct all three together and even throw in some other players from that dynasty! Think of the ratings!

But truly, I can't be bothered when multi millionaires and billionaires don't get honored. I don't care either way.

I was lucky enough to never have to run the wishbone, but unfortunate enough to have found myself trying to stop it.

Wing-T and Split-T on offense. 6-2-3 on defense!

I mean... Were we jumping up and down and screaming SNUB when Jimmy Johnson had to wait 16 years for his yellow jacket?
