I don't think Bellichick should ever be allowed in the HOF for what he has done. They will not ever let Pete Rose into the Baseball HOF because he, in a way cheated, as well. A lot may urgue, look at BB's accomplishments........but, based on what? Cheating. How is that justified. My point is that everything the Pats have accomplished as a team since BB's arrival now is severely tainted. The big Asterisk goes up.........and it should! I will now, and forever, look at the Pats as the scum of the NFL. In my mind, they ave accomplished nothing except how to be a winner from being an expert cheater.
He'll still be in the HOF whether he deserves it or not... it's pretty much impossible to tell how far he went with this whole cheating stuff without proof.
YES, he is in the hall of shame along with Shoeless Joe, Barry Bonds and Pete Rose amongst others. Oh you said hall of fame.. not a chance in hell.
Exactly my sentiments. To acknowledge and extol somebody for cheating is just plain wrong...................In my mind, he never deserves to get in.
I know that is what probably will eventually happen, but it would be just plain idiotic for anyone to think that his only incident was this passed Jets game. Maybe he is the defensive mastermind he has been touted to be because of signal stealing and illegal use of cameras and or radio signal jamming or tapping. I could be a genius, too, if I cheated like him.
unfortunately, BB will go to the HOF. Really, no questions asked (other than that one about cheating). But seriously, he'll be voted in despite this controversey, like it or not.
Let me check the Magic 8-ball. As I often do with such perplexing questions..................... There you have it: It is decidedly so.
I think he belongs there, I mean winning 3 out of 4 in this era is beyond remarkable to say the least. I am on the realist side of Jet fans - a lot of NFL teams tape signs and signals, have for a while, still do and still will. The Patriots were just stupid enough to get caught.
Completely different set of circumstances. It's not the stealing of signals, it's the ridiculous way they did it. First ballot HOFer.
I don't think he'll get in... but not on this incident alone... a guarantee something else will come out to sink his chances
FYI: There are cheaters in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Mike Webster is one. He was a steroid freak.
