He tried to “massage the votes” but alas, no happy ending

I mean, what has Kraft really done? He hired a good coach/GM and QB, and had his ring stolen.

People wonder why Jerruh is in with 3 SBs but Kraft is not in with 6. But not only is Jerruh also the GM, but he was apparently instrumental in a lot of the TV deals that directly led to the increased exposure of the NFL. Jerruh, like him or hate him, has been a force in the NFL since he bought the Cowboys. You simply can't tell the story of the NFL over the past 30-35 years without mentioning his name at least once. Which should be the benchmark for an owner to get into the Hall of Fame. Not picking the right people to write checks to.

Seriously, if you're going to praise the contracts and squad they'd signed, then surely the GM is the one who should get the praise in that situation.

Oh fuck me. Please don't give Belicheck 2 HOF inductions lol. He was their GM and Headcoach I wanna say for most of the span of super bowl rings.

Edit: Yep. Their longest tenured GM from 2000-2021... fuckin Billy B.

Well I hope you're happy. You've now spoken it into existence.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lol homie ima lifelong Bills fan. I didn't spoke the 17 year fuckin drought I had to suffer thru into existence. It always was.

Good. Guy had the evidence of his massage parlor escapades destroyed by claiming that someone else who is innocent on these tapes may have their reputation harmed. He should be in the scumbag billionare who is above the law Hall of Fame instead.
