The Pro Football Hall of Fame released a statement on Wednesday following a Tuesday report that six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick was not voted in the Class of 2026 in his first year of eligibility.

Per the statement, if it is determined voting members "violated the selection process bylaws" that "action will be taken," including removal as a member of the selection committee.

The vikings sacked their general manager Kwesi Adofo Mensah today. The timing of the move is a bit strange but speaking as a viking fan the move could not have come soon enough. His drafting was attrocious and he let superbowl bound Sam Darnold walk out the door while the vikings struggled at quarter back.

Borefest of a 1st half in this Superbowl. Bad Bunny in the half-time show at least has something more entertaining to watch.

2 strong teams, but 2 very inexperienced QB's who not showing much.

Another halftime show where I never heard any of the songs before tonight.

Another defensive Superbowl! If either of the offenses can get a touchdown you'd think that might be the difference.

I like Bad Bunny. Thought it was an excellent show.

I also love that his celebration of Puerto Rico will have MAGA going apeshit!

The one Lady Gaga sang was familiar but yeah, not for me.

They'll not have been watching it. They'll have tuned in to see Kid Rock's alternative show!

Apparently that "show" didn't reach  many of its viewers due to "licensing restrictions "!

Have NE made it into the Seattle half yet?

[gallsman]

They could still break it open but NE's offense has been off all through the playoffs. Conditions in Denver an excuse but they were very poor at times against both Houston and the chargers. Maye hasn't looked elite in over a month. All starting to catch up with them a bit against a different level of defence.

Seahawks not really punishing them enough but hard to see NE getting two scores.

That a bad game,i watch the last quarter in bed, given the standard i probably fall asleep.

[Wildweasel74]

40 mins and no score! Tom Brady be impressed!
