Chapter 1: Why was Bill Belichick not voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
You guys did a lot on the Jets in the first segment, which we will get to in a moment. But the big story nationally would be Bill Belichick being informed, not voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And I'm only starting with this because I have a couple of clips I'm going to play from people that were, as you can imagine, in disbelief. Keyshawn Johnson is one, as he did a video in his car.
Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Who in the hell made that decision? This is why you cannot give people this type of power that's in that room.
Now, it sounds to me like he is just assuming it's the reporters that are keeping him out.
Like, I understand.
Chapter 2: What are the reactions to Belichick's Hall of Fame snub?
He didn't allow y'all to interview him a certain way. He might have been standoffish. He might have did some things that rubbed people the wrong way. But this is the opportunity for y'all to get y'all rocks off. So now you're going to punish him?
Yeah, I'm with him to a certain extent. I don't necessarily know just about the writers. I think it's probably more people within the NFL family itself, not the writers. There may be some writers that voted against him, but there are probably people... I know who's on the list, and I know who voted. I did reach out to one of those guys, Rich Cimini, this morning. He is 100% pro-Bill Belichick.
He voted yes for him. Isn't it mostly writers, though? It is mostly writers. Here's the list right here. You can look at it. Yeah, I mean, it's like 80% writers. It is. Yeah, but he's got to get 80% of the vote to be able to move on.
It's 50, right? 50 total? You got to get 40?
Yeah. Yes, and the thing about it is, so 10 people on that list voted against him or didn't vote for him, I guess you would say. And, you know, you have coach, contributor. Bob Kraft was up, too, and he didn't get in either. I don't know what to tell you. I mean, if Jerry Jones is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, should Bob Kraft be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Yeah, I mean, he'll get there, yeah.
Yeah, but I mean, it's like they won six Super Bowls together. Bill Belichick has won eight, two as defensive coordinator of the Giants, for God's sake. I mean, what are, I don't know what the list is. I think people on this list, for whatever reason, are holding the deflate gate and spy gate thing against them. We got ourselves a writer here. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
And it's actually embarrassing. It's really embarrassing that somebody could figure out a way to say, you know what, he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame when this is the greatest coach this league has ever seen.
Well, at least 11. Not just one. At least 11 have decided that.

Chapter 3: How do NFL writers influence Hall of Fame voting?
And I could guess on this list who I think would vote against him. I would never want to do that. I'd want to know this factually. And I think they should release the names. You want to be transparent, be transparent.
You know what? I could actually think or believe that from an ego standpoint, Bill Belichick not getting in on the first ballot might actually help because of all the people that came to his defense. Now, if he had gotten in, everybody just assumed, oh, he's in, whatever. It wouldn't have been a big story because we'll assume he was going to be in.
But he's not in, and everybody's rushing to his defense. You know, Patrick Mahomes and others. So he really is seeing the love from his peers, more so because he was out than if he would have gotten in.
That's true. And I'm sure Tom Brady would be supporting him, and I guarantee you Tom Brady's supporting Bob Kraft. Guaranteed. I mean, Bob Kraft not only winning all the games that he has won as an owner and the Super Bowls that they won, but also really, I want to say, I felt like he was like one of the first ones getting the new stadium thing rolling.
And he was also a very big part of the contract negotiations with both the players and with the TV contracts. He's about as influential and as powerful as any owner in any sport.
So if you think that the successful. If you think that the Spygate and Deflategate are holding Bill Belichick out as a first time or first ballot Hall of Famer, does that mean that Tom Brady has to wait a year too? That's a very good question.
You would have to ask these 50 voters.
Yeah, I don't want to talk to them.
I mean, this was shocking for all of us that have covered Bill and the guys who played for Bill, the guys who played against Bill. I mean, every single one of us know exactly the impact he's had as a coach, and it's really ā it's an embarrassment for the people that ā I think it's ā Is it really an embarrassment for the pro football fans? They have nothing to do with this.

Chapter 4: What factors might affect Belichick's Hall of Fame candidacy?
Yeah, and if you heard Aaron Glenn there, he said you could find guys in high school. I did see the report from Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic that Sal Champy Jr. is coming in for an interview. That would be a big blow for East Islip if he ended up leaving.
No, we're not letting him leave. We're not letting him leave. There's no way. That would be something.
There's no way we're letting him go.
Did Jelly Roll really break? The Brian Dable news yesterday.
I did not see that.
That it's official. He's the new offensive coordinator of the Titans.
I could see Rob Sala reaching out to Jelly Roll and telling him. Because Jelly Roll's like the Joe Beningo of the Titans. I guess it's possible. He's already playing golf with Jelly Roll.
I'm sure he is. While you look for that, the Bills did promote Joe Brady to head coach.
And by the way, not shocking given all the things that Josh Allen was saying about Joe Brady late in the year. If you remember, they asked him, what do you think of Joe Brady getting all these interviews? And he goes, he's a terrible coach. I wouldn't talk to him if I was anybody else.
