hmmm, the afl, the afl-nfl merger, revenue sharing, 2 afl championships, 4 afc championships, 46 years in the same city, first guy to sell naming rights of the stadium, floating a loan to the pats and raiders so they wouldn't fold, etc. Listen, the guy has been in the nfl for 50 years and has been instrumental to building the game we see today. Age spots and painful press conferences at age 90 wouldn't sway my vote if i had one.
The real truth is the guy has somehow been blackballed. He'll get into the HOF no more than one year after his death.
