Should Tom Brady still be considered a 1st ballot Hall of Famer?

[iowajerms]

Obviously, this does not keep him out of Canton. His success is too good. But will he be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer?

I still believe he should be considered 1st ballot. He would have still dominated the Colts with regulated inflated footballs. Or do you think his rep is tarnished enough that he will never make Hall of Fame.

short answer: yes

long answer: yeeeesssss

 

[HammerDown]

He's out.

More will come out.

When Hernandez sings, the facade will shatter.

 

[Rock Strongo]

why is this a thread?

"is the sun hot?"

 

[ducky]

I bet there are one or two writers that hold back their vote in year one. So he will only get in with 90% of the vote instead of 100%.

It depends on if anything else comes out.

 

[HammerDown]

It depends on if anything else comes out.

This.

But change "if" to "when."

There's more.

A lot more. And Ted Wells already knows about it.

 

[GNG]

Maybe he could go into the HOF with an asterisk next to his name.

 

[HammerDown]

By the time this is over, Ryan Leaf will have a better chance in the Hall than Tom Terrible.

He has a better spiral right now.

He'll get in, but one more scandal and he would end up like this guy, who was indisputably an all time great:

 

[podsox]

yes but the patriots and brady look like jackasses

 

[GenJac]

I wish it could be raised to a lifetime ban and no chance of the hall. This guy has been doing this for years and just finally got caught. Cheaters should not prosper... I can only hope that the Pats bandwagon gets empty really soon and fans can cheer for real teams and athletes that are good, like Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Tony Romo, and Sam Bradford.

 

[Center Ice]

Yup, and I hope he moons Goodell during the ceremony.

 

[MISKO]

oh no this cheating thing negates the first ballad hof'r status for him .. cheaters really dont belong in the hall at all

 

[wood20ks]

I think he will get in.........but probably on the second ballot.Hopefully the 3rd tho.

they never found him 100% guilty,so they punished him because of probable cause.

And we all know he is as guilty as OJ......

When you have nothing to hide,then why try to hide Tom?

 

[HammerDown]

FUTURE HEADLINE: "Todd Marinovich squeaks into Hall in last year of eligibility, Brady ;anguishes in humiliation!"

 

[Bamabino]

 

[DJ]

 

[Davis_Mike]

Unless some more serious dirt comes out, he is a sure bet to get in on the first or second ballot.

Well, all this SportsHoopla going on surely doesn't help
