Rumor has it that Bill Polian led a group of voters that blocked the cheating bastard for at least this year for the Spygate episode. He denies it but…
Had one voter explain why he left him out.
He said they are only allowed to vote for 3 (or 4 ?) per year, and he felt Bill will get another chance next year. But there were guys he felt were deserving who might get squeezed out on their last year of eligibility.
That makes sense. But that was only one voter.
Later
Hate the guy but it's an embarrassment to the league that he was not a first ballot entrant.Polian definitely headed the campaign to keep him out. He kept Polians Colts out of the championship for decades....
