Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame Entry Sabotaged By Former Colts GM?

Did Bill Belichick's nemesis Bill Polian have North Carolina’s head coach blocked from being a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer?

After Belichick was denied entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his 1st try despite 8 Super Bowl rings came rumors that the former Indianapolis Colts GM sabotaged Belichick’s entry over the Deflategate & Spygate scandals.

If rumors are true and Bill Polian led the charge of Belichick waiting because of Deflategate and Spygate does that mean that Tom Brady has to wait too?

Because ain’t no fricking way Tom is waiting or should wait… and neither should Bill!

Polian denied the allegations — but then said he couldn’t remember if he voted for Belichick to be inducted to the Hall of Fame or not. 

Bill Polian said he doesn’t remember if he voted for Bill Belichick or not.

Respectfully, if you can’t remember who you voted for— you’re too senile to be voting. pic.twitter.com/xU0F2yBHPi

If nothing else, this drama has done the seemingly impossible and united the Internet behind Belichick, the biggest curmudgeon in sports.

I never would’ve thought that the sports figure to unite all of Twitter and temporarily end our deep division would be this guy. pic.twitter.com/0zKXKw5OKW
