Antonio Gates First Ballot HOF Finalist, Not Selected

[Boltjolt]

Wow Devin Hester got in before Gates?

[Boltjolt]

There would be maybe 4 players in the HOF if they hold that against him.

Writers shouldn't be allowed to vote. To nitpick things they don't know shit about. It's a joke writers are voting on players getting in the HOF.

[wu-dai clan]

One of the worst snubs ever.
Disrespectful to Gatesy.
Pissing on the Chargers and their loyal fans.
The only way to teach the asswipes
is multiple Super Bowl Championships.

Must be waiting to announce him in next year, just before we win the Super Bowl

[21&500]

An absolute joke.
I can't believe this bs.
AG literally changed the game.

[21&500]

Please join me and boycott the HOF this year.
id rather watch Beaches synced up with dark side of the moon.

Hope Jim uses this as fuel to the fire.

Gates the MOST deserving.

Peppers, Hester, Freeney, Johnson?!?!

Any of them change thengame?

maybe Hester but
Hester, is special teams, hardly counts.
Thanks for your 20 TDs, sorry, no one else changed the game.

[Maniaque 6]

I agree with Freeney, Willis and Peppers.
Why Johnson and Hester before Gates ?

[Canal Zone Bolt Fan]

What a fucking JOKE. Unbelievable. UFA, accomplished so much, top TE in all categories and they let in a glorified punt returner?

THE NFL SHOULD BE ASHAMED

None of these guys has Gates resume unless you call Heaters 20Tds worthy. Most be a returner. Gates had most tds as a TE. This is a joke

similar to Bowers, it's the position. just kidding. who knows.

to be fair, the bigger crime was making Air Coryell wait forever to get in. Gates should have no problem getting in soon.

Sucks AG didn't get in but I have no problem with the list honestly... Andre Johnson would be at Jerry Rice comparisons if he was on any other team, his stats and community work is otherworldly and unmatched. Hester I can also see... Freeney is a stretch but Manning doesn't get a ring without him. Willis and Peppers? Ok...

I'd be cool with AG and PR going in at the same time... That would be more special IMHO
