|
Feb 10th 2016 | 13
|
![](./images/mesg_level.gif) if you wanna explain, you can. otherwise, i'm ignoring this. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 14
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) your whole board persona is based off of personal bias. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 19
|
![](./images/mesg_level.gif) and you're comparing my admitted persona HERE to HOF/MVP voters? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 21
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) *shrug* not that serious, but i find it funny. |

|
Feb 10th 2016 | 38
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) he prolly thinks i wouldn't vote melo into the HOF first-year. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 44
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Man Dominique and Alex English were not first ballot |

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) him too. |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 92
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Neither was Bob McAdoo, therefore AI should not be first ballot either |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 68
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Melo is first ballot to you? Really? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 69
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Absolutely. Including NCAA & FIBA careers it's a no-brainer, actually. |

![](./images/mesg_level.gif) English actually did make it on the first ballot |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 111
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) are you certain on english? thought he retired 91, inducted 97 |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 112
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Yes; that's how the calendar dates fall. Bird retired in 92, inducted 98 |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 116
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) MVP, 4 scoring titles, 3 steals crowns, 11 straight ASGs, etc. |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 117
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) AI belongs in very top tier of HOF with Cap/Wilt/BigO/Bird/Magic/MJ etc? |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 120
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) "10 ish years, 1 dimensional, won nothing".... sounds like A.I. too. |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 114

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Except not. |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 118

|
Feb 10th 2016 | 15
|
I think it hurts the game more that sportswriters are the ones allowed |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 17
|
Votes like this are journalists only chance to hold onto any importance |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 18
|
They hurt the integrity of the awards, but not the game |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 22
|
I think it's bullshit. But I don't think it's an issue with T.O. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 23
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) How is TO NOT an all-time great? He ranks in the top 5 or 10 in ALL |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 27
|
![](./images/mesg_level.gif) Beast? Sure. Up with the elite of the elite? No. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 28
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/mesg_level.gif) So you're saying that there's been only 2 elite receivers to ever play? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 32
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) That's exactly what I'm saying. T.O. is not a no-brainer 1st ballot wr. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 35
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Well according to his peers, former players, and past inductees he |

Feb 10th 2016 |
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Exactly. I'm just judging the selection process relative to the position... |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 53
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) yeah i think we pretty much agree 100% here. spooky. |

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) when has he ever been consistent or coherent? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 45
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) True. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 50
|
I'm asking this out of complete ignorance |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 26
|
![](./images/mesg_level.gif) i honestly don't know. he crazy enough not to care. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 29
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) All depends on what his priorities are. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 30

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) It's kind of amazing. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 47
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) It's a pretty weird job and for older people it's getting weirder |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 57
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) It's the former beat writers turned columnists |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 61
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) yeah there are some atrocious columnists out there |

Would Bonds have gotten into the Hall of Fame |

Hate to be corny, but the issue is entirely about diversity |

Isn't it ironic, don't ya think |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 55
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) not an accurate parallel in my opinion |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 59
|
It's just more proof that people disregard facts for their biases |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 62
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Yup, selection bias is rampant as a mfer |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 66

Feb 12th 2016 | 93

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) I'm not sure what you don't get about this |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 96
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) they exist *and* they are significant. that's what *you* are not getting |

Feb 13th 2016 | 104
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) "First ballot Hall of Famer" is a thing to sports writers |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 76
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) IMO it's a thing to anyone involved with the HOF |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 78
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) No...it's a thing to only the writers |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 81

![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Yeah this would be the worst shit |
|
Feb 15th 2016 | 110
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) How common is a unanimous vote though? |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 113
|
![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) The unanimous vote should be common |
