Because there are people in there who should not be in there if Bill Belichick should not be in there.

And hopefully it's going to spark an overhaul to the whole process.

How they do the voting, who does the voting.

There's a lot of people that have no business voting.

And I'm not saying that because I want to vote, because I don't.

But I think they need to go back to square one and look at this whole process again because it's clearly flawed and it undermines the integrity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which indirectly undermines the integrity of the National Football League.

Well I think that's part of it, and you're gonna have some people who don't want their vote to be public.

Well fine, step aside for someone who has no problem with making it public.

Why shouldn't people be expected to put their name on their vote?

There's a power that comes with the anonymity, especially because of the current process.

It used to be each finalist had an up or down vote.

You voted for him or against him, and it was an 80% threshold.

Now, and I will delve into the details a little bit just to show you how ridiculous it is.

Bill Belichick was in the same bucket with Robert Kraft, Ken Anderson, Roger Craig, and LC Greenwood.

Five finalists.

Of those five, each of the 50 voters voted for three.

So nobody voted against Belichick.

They voted for someone else.

And it's possible, of all the reasons that have been articulated, and there are many possible reasons for not putting him on the card, it could be that someone just wanted to help the other guys, and they thought, Belichick's surely getting in.

There's no reason for me to vote for Belichick.
