Bill Belichick did not get into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. This shocking news has left people confused and in some cases angry. It’s unclear what exactly derailed his first-year candidacy, but there have been accusations and denials. Whatever the truth may be, Belichick will have to wait another year to be honored.
One person you can’t blame is Tom Brady. When Armando Salguero gave the presentation of Belichick’s case to his fellow Hall of Fame voters, it included a note from Brady, who spoke glowingly about his former coach. Salguero shared that note on X, formerly Twitter.
