They kinda did that during COVID (just with players playing, not madden specialists). It was....well, it sure was a thing that happened.

I did! Mostly because watching the early 1990s Patriots feels more like a punishment than anything else, and the '92 Seahawks are somehow even worse.

Old Foxborough was not a brilliant place, no.

And that's all well and good, until five, six, seven people start thinking that way, and someone else decides to vote for only players over coaches, and someone else is still holding on to a Spygate grudge...

And every vote over 40 is wasted, and votes are so limited in the current format. So, if 48 and change other guys are going to vote for Belichick, why waste your vote there? You can get Belichick and Kenny Anderson voted in! That's a much better class, and so you move your vote.

I don't think so, though I wouldn't be shocked if it was in the back of some voter's minds.

Absolutely. It really should be a straight up-and-down vote on everybody, but there are enough voices complaining about the Hall not being selective enough that it won't happen.

Sando's in as Seattle's rep.

We tried to go down the list in the DVOA Discord and...there's kind of not. Lawrence and Stroud would be the two best names to send out, and both of them kinda begged off.

So, here's my pitch: Philip Rivers. Why the hell not.
