Gronkowski on Belichick HoF snub: “Now, there’s no such thing as a first-ballot Hall of Fame head coach. No other coach ever in history should go first-ballot. And there’s a guy out there, Andy Reid, but he can’t go first-ballot now because Coach Belichick wasn’t first-ballot.”

[Highlight] Larry Fitzgerald finds out he's a Hall of Famer

Druski is a disrepectful idiot. JSN doesn't deserve to have his name butchered like that.

His "joke" comes across like he was trying to make the announcement about himself. It reminds me of some shitty racist "joke" my boomer grandpa tried to make earlier in the season.

Edit: Link to the video posted on this subreddit

Meme I made because people keep saying how funny it was.

[Highlight] Luke Kuechly finds out he's a Hall of Famer

Monson I was the Justin Herbert vote.

The guy had the worst offensive line in the NFL all season and despite that he was working miracles in almost every single game.

Stafford's OL became 2/5ths as bad as Herbert's for 5 minutes and he became a turnover howitzer.

He embodied 'value'.

Not sure if this guy is actually a voter, seems legit from what I can tell though
