Hall Of Fame Coach Calls Out ‘Lying’ Voters In Explicit Televised Rant After Bill Belichick Snub

The validity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame has forever been tarnished after Bill Belichick was denied the honor of being named a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Gold jacket members from all walks of NFL history have come out in defense of the former New England Patriots head coach.

Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson felt so strongly about the snub that he booked some time on ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show” to air his grievances with the Hall of Fame voters.

“I talked to two or three of the voters today — of course, every voter is going to say ‘I voted for him,’ which is b—s—. A bunch of them are lying,” Johnson said.

He then provided a potential explanation for how the most sure-fire first-ballot candidate of all time could have been left out.

“I guess the process is: they have five candidates, and they can vote for three,” Johnson said. “I think some of the voters probably say, ‘Well, it’s a slam dunk that Bill Belichick is going to get in with all of his accolades’…

“So they assume he was going to get in, so they vote for one of the candidates that they liked. Then it fell through the cracks, and he didn’t get in.”

Johnson has expressed that he is worried about the validity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame going forward. As a Hall of Famer himself, he believes this is an awfully bad representation of the exclusive fraternity.

He also announced he would be protesting this year’s Hall of Fame induction in a movement that may gain some steam.

“I saw (Belichick) at the National Championship Game,” Johnson said. “I was walking away, and I said, ‘Hey, I hope to see you in the Hall this year.’ I thought it was going to be an automatic, so I chartered a jet — I was going to go up there.

“To Hell with it, I’m not going this year.”
