People do bad things off the field... That’s their business... The NFL Hall of Fame is for greatness on the field and that’s why his bust will always be in Canton, Ohio.
Hell... If Arron Hernandez had the ability to get a weekend pass from Walpole prison when he was serving time for murder, I would’ve let him play on Sunday’s for the Patriots... You can almost see Gillette from the prison.
And if it were the NY Giants?
Wanna start a raucous argument in a bar?
Ask if Pete Rose should be in Cooperstown.
He’s not a murderer, but he bet on games while a player/manager.
He also was the greatest contemporary baseball player. And, arguably, was the ingredient that gave my Phillies their first World Series win.
