|
| Yeah. especially when you consider what some of those biases are |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 5
|
| It's unnerving to me but I don't think Owens is suffering injustice |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 6
|
| To slightly play Devil's Advocate |
|

 Chicken or Egg...SAS kinda addressed that in his rant. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 8
|
 I don't think that is true at all. There are instances, but it's not the... |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 9
|
| I guess this will have to be |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 10
|
| I can only speak for the voting process in two leagues |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 20
|
| On the Dan Patrick show |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 39
|
| HOF voting is another level, I meant the awards voting |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 43
|
| That's complete bullshit and is unprofessional |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 63
|
| That was such a monster year from Belle |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 11
|
| I was hyped as shit when he went to the White Sox |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 16
|
| +1 |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 65
|
| this is so awesome, I don't think I've heard about it before... |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 54
|
| Jeez you see some the replies to that article? |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 79
|
| what integrity are you talking about exactly? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 12
|
| lol @ you complaining about personal bias though... |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 13
|
| if you wanna explain, you can. otherwise, i'm ignoring this. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 14
|
| your whole board persona is based off of personal bias. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 19
|
| and you're comparing my admitted persona HERE to HOF/MVP voters? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 21
|
| *shrug* not that serious, but i find it funny. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 24
|
| Man, that's some BS. He's admitted to his online persona |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 36
|
| *shrug* not that serious, but i find it funny. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 38
|
| he prolly thinks i wouldn't vote melo into the HOF first-year. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 44
|
| Man Dominique and Alex English were not first ballot |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 60
|
| first-year on my ballot |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 67
|
| Dantley too? |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 84
|
| lol, nice |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 87
|
| him too. |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 92
|
| Neither was Bob McAdoo, therefore AI should not be first ballot either |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 68
|
| Melo is first ballot to you? Really? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 69
|
| Absolutely. Including NCAA & FIBA careers it's a no-brainer, actually. |

Feb 15th 2016 | 105
|
| you would, i might have, but they didn't make it. |
|
Feb 15th 2016 | 106
|
| English actually did make it on the first ballot |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 111
|
| are you certain on english? thought he retired 91, inducted 97 |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 112
|
| Yes; that's how the calendar dates fall. Bird retired in 92, inducted 98 |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 116
|
| MVP, 4 scoring titles, 3 steals crowns, 11 straight ASGs, etc. |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 117
|
| AI belongs in very top tier of HOF with Cap/Wilt/BigO/Bird/Magic/MJ etc? |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 120
|
| "10 ish years, 1 dimensional, won nothing".... sounds like A.I. too. |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 114
|
| Except not. |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 118
|
| Nah it's the same. Plus Melo won a National Title & a host of medals |
|
Feb 17th 2016 | 121
|
| ...but kinda yeah. |
|
Feb 18th 2016 | 123

| Niggaz stay hyping some steals when he never stopped anybody, |

|
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
|
| How is TO NOT an all-time great? He ranks in the top 5 or 10 in ALL |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 27
|
| Beast? Sure. Up with the elite of the elite? No. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 28
|
| So you're saying that there's been only 2 elite receivers to ever play? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 32
|
| That's exactly what I'm saying. T.O. is not a no-brainer 1st ballot wr. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 35
|
| Well according to his peers, former players, and past inductees he |

Feb 10th 2016 | 42
|
| Tackles are getting more and more respect from the voters |
|
Feb 10th 2016 |
|
| Exactly. I'm just judging the selection process relative to the position... |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 53
|
| yeah i think we pretty much agree 100% here. spooky. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 56
|
| Lol... yeah, I'm logging off now. |

| Seems kind of hypocritical of Screaming A. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 25
|
| when has he ever been consistent or coherent? |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 45
|
| True. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 50
|
| I'm asking this out of complete ignorance |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 26
|
| i honestly don't know. he crazy enough not to care. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 29
|
| All depends on what his priorities are. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 30
|
| He did care at the time. I remember being a huge fan of his, and half |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 82

| Fuck yes it does |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 37
|
| Baseball is the absolute worst about this. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 40
|
| this whole steroid freezeout is fucking crazy |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 46
|
| It's kind of amazing. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 47
|
| It's a pretty weird job and for older people it's getting weirder |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 57
|
| It's the former beat writers turned columnists |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 61
|
| yeah there are some atrocious columnists out there |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 64
|
| Would Bonds have gotten into the Hall of Fame |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 48
|
| 100%, they can't be that unreasonable |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 51
|
| Hate to be corny, but the issue is entirely about diversity |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 52
|
| Isn't it ironic, don't ya think |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 55
|
| 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
|
| Yup, selection bias is rampant as a mfer |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 66
|
| no issue with this at all. WRs never go in first-ballot. |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 70
|
| So you co-sign dumb shit |
|
Feb 10th 2016 | 71
|
| of course there are. |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 72
|
| have you ever been to the hall of fame? |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 73
|
| respectfully disagree. |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 74
|
| Have you been to the hall? |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 75
|
| How can you say there are no tiers? Threshold matter? |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 77

|
| You can be easy with the personal attacks my man |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 93
|
| But they do exist, and they do create a loose hierarchy |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 95
|
| I'm not sure what you don't get about this |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 96
|
| they exist *and* they are significant. that's what *you* are not getting |
|
Feb 12th 2016 | 97
|
| LOL |
|
Feb 13th 2016 | 98
|
| K, pretty confident in my intellect and understanding of the process |
|
Feb 13th 2016 | 99

| "First ballot Hall of Famer" is a thing to sports writers |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 76
|
| IMO it's a thing to anyone involved with the HOF |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 78
|
| No...it's a thing to only the writers |
|
Feb 11th 2016 | 81

|
Feb 15th 2016 | 109
|
| Yeah this would be the worst shit |
|
Feb 15th 2016 | 110
|
| How common is a unanimous vote though? |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 113
|
| The unanimous vote should be common |
|
Feb 16th 2016 | 115

| Cool, we agree, but you deal in "should," I deal in "is." |
