HOF Selections Announced

El Caliente said

Something to take into consideration when wondering why players aren't in the HOF. Voting is done by the media. A strong press corp in the players city = a stronger case for them getting in. Sure Gates and Evans should be in, however who in their respective media cities are going to make the case for them?

Sort of done by the media but there are only a select set of voters with each NFL team being represented exactly once. There are a few extra at large voters like Peter King (SI), Bill Polian (SiriusXM), and Tony Dungy (NBC - Football Night in America) but they are all hand picked. 18 At Large in total if you include the PFWA vote (Cal Watkins)
