This is what drives me crazy. I have a hard time understanding people who view the Hall of Fame as anything more than a baseball museum. Put in everything/everyone important that has happened/played and then let everyone make judgements for themselves.

Or are they not voting for these players because they felt their on-field performance was unfairly enhanced?

/Parents banging on bedroom door.

Manti Te’o may be involved in one of the weirder episodes ever, but a month ago he was the embodiment of everything right with sports.

and the entire time, he was an overrated football player.

Oh. I’m soooo sorry you’re going to lose your jobs where you get paid 4 times what you’re worth. I had a construction job making almost $50/ hour when I was on government jobs. I definitely worked them, and happily took the pay. But also was the first to admit I wasn’t worth even half of that shit. Very few people are.

/fingers crossed tomorrow we go back to everything this site stands for: Saved by the Bell reruns, golf/BBQ talk and being disappointed in TBL’s ability to find ugly pics of hot chicks.
