At least he's in the Injustice Hall of Fame.

ADDED: Who else in in the Injustice Hall of Fame? Well, Tolstoy never won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize. Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick never won a Best Director Oscar. The Monkees are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Ken Doll is not in the National Toy Hall of Fame. And Hillary didn't get to be President.

Left Bank of the Charles said...: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady should be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the same time. Brady doesn’t become eligible until 2028, because players have a 5 year wait from retirement while coaches have only a 1 year wait.

I suppose the reason for that difference is that coaches are more likely to die within 5 years of retirement than players. On the other hand, maybe Belichick should not be eligible as he is still actively coaching college football.

It will be a cloud on this year’s inductees, who each will be compared to Bill Belichick.; 1/29/26, 6:53 AM

Wilbur said...: I read some things yesterday speculating why this obviously qualified coaching candidate was not selected.

What was not mentioned - maybe it was elsewhere - is that Bill was often a prick to the media, known for giving one word or short mumbled answers during press Q/As.

I'm not a fan of him or the Patriots (nor of the media) but the snub seems pretty ridiculous.; 1/29/26, 7:14 AM

Left Bank of the Charles said...: It’s quite possible that one of the inductees that was elected over Bill Belichick is Patriots owner Robert Kraft. If so, that sets up the possibility of Kraft in 2026, Belichick in 2027, and Brady in 2028. That would be a fitting way to honor the dynasty.; 1/29/26, 7:27 AM

"There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town! "; 1/29/26, 7:35 AM

Christopher B said...: Per Gemini the primary voting on HOF membership is done by the media.

"The committee consists of 50 people, primarily media, but also includes some Hall of Fame coaches, players, and front-office members."

It takes a supermajority (80% approval) to be inducted. Are there enough coaches on the committee to spike his induction? Possible but I think unlikely.; 1/29/26, 8:00 AM

Only amazingly stupid, gullible people think she was ever a competent politician, or would have made a competent President. Joe Biden showed us what happens when a personally corrupt and incompetent individual is elected President of the United States.; 1/29/26, 8:15 AM
Larry J said...: “And Hillary didn't get to be President.”

I thank a merciful God for this, and I’m an agnostic.

The US population is around 330 million. Women who are natural US citizens aged 35 or greater probably total for 80-100 million of the population. Given that, I have to believe there are better women than Hillary and Harris to run for the presidency. Hillary is a truly awful human being and Harris is hopelessly incompetent. Are the best women the country has to offer? If so, that’s a truly depressing thought.; 1/29/26, 8:17 AM
Josephbleau said...: If Belichick can’t have it, burn it down.; 1/29/26, 8:17 AM
boatbuilder said...: Bill Polian "can't remember" if he voted for Belichick.
Right.
My unfounded take as a 60-year Patriots fan is that Polian engineered this as a "favor" to his buddy Kraft so that Kraft and Belichick don't go in together, and Kraft gets there first. (Don't believe Kraft's public statements--if you watched the Kraft-funded Netflix series on the Pats, you will get some small sense of how much they despise each other, and how much Kraft wants public acclaim).
Belichick is truly an asshole to reporters, so it doesn't seem to be too big a stretch to think that a bunch of them would be receptive to making Belichick "wait a year."
High school never really ends, apparently.; 1/29/26, 8:19 AM
Another old lawyer said...: Belichick may have the second most NFL wins of all time but karma remains undefeated.

Don't worry, he'll eventually be invited to the prom.

All HOFs are popularity contests. One's failure to be elected in, to not be elected in, or to not be elected in one's first year of eligibility but then be elected later, does not in any way, shape, or form elevate or diminish what one did. HOF status only really matters to the uninformed or obsessed.

All that said, if Pujols isn't unanimously elected to the baseball HOF in his first year of eligibility, I'll be outraged and you'll never be able to convince me that the voter(s) who didn't vote for Pujols was just some NY sportswriter(s) wanting to protect Rivera's status as the only unanimous selection.; 1/29/26, 8:19 AM
Temujin said...: One that I've thought about recently. A kind of obscure thought. The British singer/songwriter, Joe Jackson. How the hell is Joe Jackson NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??

He was an early on star of punk rock. Later had more mainstream hits. Has written and recorded virtually all styles of music. Had a great album of old swing tunes (Jumpin' Jive). Wrote a symphony. And has been producing great music, and touring, for decades. He's been an amazing songwriter/singer for decades.
I mean...they've put the Eurythmics and Steve Miller in the Hall of Fame for crying out loud.

Overall, Kael regarded the Oscars with a mix of cynicism and resignation: entertaining in their absurdity at times, but rarely aligned with genuine quality or the films she valued most.

Amadeus 48 said...: Belichek has never established coaching chops without Tom Brady, the GOAT. But with Brady, he was among the best with a supporting cast that turned over about three times over 20 years.
Belichek did one thing that I have never seen anywhere else: He would cut or trade a player who was near the top of his game on the theory that it was better to move on from a player a year early than a year late.; 1/29/26, 8:30 AM

Interesting that social media is going after his girlfriend, and not him. Probably because he's not on social media and doesn't give a damn.

bagoh20 said...: I always loved the videos where someone would go out and ask people on the street what Hillary has ever accomplished, then the same thing with Harris. Crickets. How hard would it be to find a woman with plenty of impressive accomplishments. If I was a woman I'd be insulted by those choices. Same with Obama, nothing before running for President. They also belong in The Hall of Injustice, but in a special section for those who never deserved the fame they got. Why do Democrats end up with such unqualified people so often. More infuriating is that they vote for them in large numbers. It's some kind of mental quirk.; 1/29/26, 9:06 AM
Saint Croix said...: The other possibility is that he's not a really good coach. UNC is ransoming undergrads and the faculty lounge to pay his salary, and UNC football is worse than ever.

It makes people suspect that he was riding on the Tom Brady express. Cynical people might suggest that any twit could win a lot of games, if Tom Brady was your quarterback. I would be a genius, for instance.

Finally, what's really funny about the Hall of Fame (at least in baseball, this is true) is that the journalists who vote are mean as shit, and are often keeping out very talented people who deserve to be in. Meanwhile the "veterans committee," made up of old, boozy ballplayers, is constantly letting in every Tom, Dick and Harry who is way retired and often dead.

Journalists suck.
Liberal journalists really suck.

Rory said...: "If it was up to me, I'd take the vote away from sportswriters, a notoriously mediocre alcoholic bunch."

Baseball's vote is complicated by an explicit character clause in the voting rules, while there's no reason to imagine the sportswriters are competent to judge character. They should either eliminate the clause or have the Hall itself refuse to put unworthies on the ballot (which they'd never do).; 1/29/26, 9:19 AM

Saint Croix said...: And Hillary didn't get to be President.

She didn't get to be Vice-President, either! Who was the guy who discriminated against her?

Obama put Biden on his ticket because he wanted a white man on his ticket. He didn't trust the voters to elect a black man with a white woman as his veep. So he put the incompetent Biden in the #2 spot. And, to save face and public humiliation, he made Hillary his Secretary of State.

Then Obama told Biden not to run, and tried to install Hillary as his successor. Fail! And then Biden, following the Obama formula-for-success, put a black woman in the #2 spot. The one he picked, had almost zero support from Democrat voters, and it was an obvious DEI con job.

I still think the first female president will likely be a Republican, because feminism today is an ugly, divisive, and poisonous ideology, and Democrats can't seem to escape it.

Dr. Graphene said...: The NFL HOF has a long history of punishing off the field behavior, and no one ever accused Bill Belichick of being a person of high moral character. This isn't a case of him not being inducted, but rather the HOF simply saying that the off the field stuff had consequences. Greatest coach ever? Yes. But being a lousy human being and disrespecting the media and the league counts for something as well. Maybe it shouldn't, but if you study the NFL, you'll see it has been a pretty consistent pattern.; 1/29/26, 9:55 AM

Kubrick never got an Oscar for direction, but he might have taken home the Oscar 2001 got for Best Visual Effects. Nobelist Desmond Tutu never won the Heisman Trophy, but at least he broke Doug Flutie's in that SNL sketch. Tutu, Flutie, Aw Rooty.; 1/29/26, 3:02 PM

One of those things is *not* like the others . . .; 1/29/26, 3:43 PM
Wilbur said...: "Belichek did one thing that I have never seen anywhere else: He would cut or trade a player who was near the top of his game on the theory that it was better to move on from a player a year early than a year late."

Branch Rickey was saying that and putting it into practice 90 years ago. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.; 1/29/26, 3:47 PM
Immanuel Rant said...: I feel kinda bad for Ken. I mean, Barbie got everything in the divorce - the Corvette, the Beach House, the Bubbling Spa.

But that's what he gets for hanging out with Skipper, her cool teen sister.

Much Like Belichick, now that I think of it.; 1/29/26, 3:58 PM
KellyM said...: Despite my intense loathing for what the NFL has become (how is it that a coach dressed in a suit jacket and tie on the sidelines is verboten in favor of the scruffy hoodie?) I’m rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl if only for head coach Mike Vrabel. Belichick plucked him out of near obscurity and he became a linchpin player for those early successes. This would be a great win for him.; 1/29/26, 4:10 PM
Matt said...: Belichik with the Browns: 36-44; without Tom Brady: 83-104. This wouldn’t even be a discussion if he hadn’t been paired with Tom Brady. Just like Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers’. McCarthy would be an assistant somewhere in the college levels if he hadn’t had Rodgers’ elite qb play covering his garbage play calling and garbage defenses.; 1/29/26, 4:55 PM
James K said...: "Don't forget Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, Curt Shilling and Mark McGwire are not in the Baseball HOF."

They all made themselves unworthy: Rose by gambling, Clemens and McGwire by using PEDs, and Shilling by publicly supporting Trump.; 1/29/26, 5:05 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: Poor hillary. she must have looked at the disaster of the biden presidency and said "I could've done that".; 1/29/26, 5:05 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: You know who doesn't deserve to be in the HOF? Barry Bonds. Mr. I started to hit more HR's then ever AFTER the age of 35. Mr. I discovered weight lifting after 14 years in MLB. Mr. Steroids/HGH himself.; 1/29/26, 5:07 PM
Jupiter said...: I'll bet the evil hag is still hoping. Lock her up!; 1/29/26, 5:08 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: Of course, all the sportswriters tip-toed around the steroid issue and Bonds - because he's black. And a Democrat.; 1/29/26, 5:08 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: If you want Injustice Oscar style, I give you: Judy holiday winning an AA over Bette Davis (All about Eve) and Gloria Swanson (Sunset Blvd). Two of the most iconic performances in Hollywood history passed over for a bad comedy act.; 1/29/26, 5:13 PM
Peachy said...: we might have this all wrong.
Bill B will get in. There is a line of people and voting and only so many years of eligibility. q the line.; 1/29/26, 5:21 PM
EAB said...: Can’t speak to the validity, but husband’s comment was Belichek cheated. My nomination for injustice HoF is Eddie Murphy not even being nominated for an Oscar in Bowfinger.; 1/29/26, 5:24 PM
friscoda said...: Belichick was part of a group of 5 which includes 3 players who if they are not voted in will not make it into the HOF because they lose their eligibility. Two of them should have been voted in years ago. It is possible that Kraft doesn’t get in either. At least one sportswriter said that he voted for the 3 players and not Kraft or Belichick for this reason.
Then there are people like Polian who can’t remember what he did (it turns out that he did vote for Belichick - that was confirmed this morning by the audit firm that counts the vote). (Interesting that it is not anonymous.). In any event, this is a lot of nonsense. I would have voted for the 3 players and made Bill wait because of the losing eligibility issue. They need to separate the categories but they won’t.; 1/29/26, 5:32 PM
Achilles said...: Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pffft. Gandhi was only famous because of the humanity of the British people.

There are hundreds of people in China that were braver and more deserving but we will never know their names because they died in a jail cell after having their organs harvested.; 1/29/26, 6:27 PM
gadfly said...: The Pro Football Hall of Fame selection process has recently changed, making it more challenging for coaches to be inducted. Coaches now compete directly with players in the seniors category, and the elimination of the five-year waiting period has led to increased scrutiny and fewer overall inductees, as seen with the recent small class sizes.; 1/29/26, 7:06 PM
Jim Gust said...: Hillary Clinton not becoming President was justice, not injustice. Sheesh.; 1/29/26, 8:12 PM
boatbuilder said...: It is true that Belichick wouldn't be in the running for HOF without Brady. But Brady never would have become Brady if Belichick hadn't made the ballsy decision to keep him as starting QB when Drew Bledsoe, who was at that time the highest paid QB in the league, came back from injury.

Belichick's last three years with the Patriots and last year at UNC were marked by an apparent loss of the ability to engage the attention of and control his players. Lots of mental mistakes, penalties and disciplinary infractions, and lack of attention to details--which was the opposite of the previous two decades. I don't know whether Bill changed or the players changed.; 1/29/26, 9:22 PM
Deep State Reformer said...: Life isn't fair as we all should know by now and there's lots of other stuff those guys "deserve" too, but that they got away with as well so there's that. It all works out in the end. All glory is fleeting.; 1/30/26, 7:35 AM
Marcus Bressler said...: The old fart alky writers denied Bill his place due to 1. Envy of his 24 yo hot GF and 2. he treated them like the human shitpile they were.; 1/30/26, 12:38 PM
