The New England Patriots will take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night but before kickoff oen fo the biggest storylines around the NFL continues to be about Bill Belichick shockingly not making the Pro Football Hall of Fame on first ballot this year.
During the NBC Super Bowl LX Pregame Show, Rodney Harrison called Tony Dungy to his face over the snub, who refused to reveal if he voted for Belichick of not.
“Any list that doesn’t include Bill belichick at the top is absolutely wrong,” Harrison said while looking right at Dungy. “And a lot of those players that we mentioned—I played with Drew Brees, I played with Adam Vinatieri. But there’s nobody more deserving to be in that Hall of Fame than coach Belichick. I’ve seen him design defenses to stop your offenses. And you just look at the players he has impacted, he’s been unbelievable and when I look out throughout the Hall of Fame and even a guy like Tom Brady—Tom Brady wouldn’t be Tom Brady without Bill Belichick and that’s the disappointing part of it coach, and you guys got it wrong.”
Here’s that heated pregame segment, which started with Dungy breaking down the problems with the voting process that led to Belichick not making it in and that he’s upset over it.
Belichick led the Patriots to six Super Bowl titles during his legendary run with the franchise. He also won two Super Bowls with the Giants, where he served as the defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells.
It seems like all of that should be more than enough to get into the Hall of Fame the very first time he was on that ballot, but that proved not to be the case.
