"We're not all created equal" – Charles Barkley sounds off on Bill Belichick's recent Pro Football Hall of Fame controversy
Charles Barkley believes Bill Belichick is one of the few whose Hall of Fame induction shouldn't have been questioned.

So, WTF does that mean? Look, everyone knows you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even you have outdone yourself with this cryptic post, I will, however, give you credit for the literary excellence displayed here. Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald have nothing on you...

Be not simply good - be good for something.
It may be a little too soon to say the Belichick won't get in.
It's been reported that he got 39 votes. It's also been reported that Kraft didn't get in. Let's say Kraft got 12 votes (just to make the math easy).
There are 50 voters who each get to cast 3 ballots. That's 150 in total. Subtract from that number the 51 votes Belichick and Kraft received (39 + 12).
That leaves 99 votes. If those votes are evenly divided among the three senior candidates (Anderson, Craig, and Greenwood), that is 33 votes each.
The new process says that if none of the candidates get 40 or more votes, the candidate from the final group with the most votes gets a yellow jacket. That would be Belichick at 39.
I don't expect that to happen - I expect that one of senior candidates will reach the threshold of 40 votes.
I also expect several replies to this post that say "I was told there would be no math."

The report wasn't that he didn't get to 40. The report was that he didn't get in.It may be a little too soon to say the Belichick won't get in.

Now, it has crossed my mind that maybe the report was wrong. But that seems unlikely.
Howard Balzer(sp) was on Patriots unfiltered today, Wednesday Feb 4, at about 70 minutes in to the podcast.
Podcast is live now as I write this.
Howard has covered the NFL for 50 years and is on the HOF committee.
He explains the convoluted system that the HOF uses.
It made my head hurt.

Fuck Tony Dungy, the little rat.
I recommend checking out the podcast at the quoted time because I couldn’t provide the history nor the convolutions created.

Bill Parcells reacts to Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft being snubbed by HOF
Belichick and Kraft will both have to wait at least another year before they are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and yet another NFL legend has shared his feelings on the surprising development.

Here's my take on the voters: when the only power a person has is to hurt other people, we shouldn't be surprised when they use their power that way. And when they do that, it achieves the opposite purpose - it elevates the person they hurt, and it further demeans the person or people who take their pettiness to an extreme.

He also makes a good point about these people that have been sitting on the list for 67,244 decades.If they haven't gotten in by now, why should they all of a sudden get to bump somebody who's worthy of first ballot status?Here's another take along those lines from Emmitt Smith:
