JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith is upset that supporters of offensive tackle Tony Boselli are using Boselli's dominating performance against Smith in a playoff game as one of the reasons that Boselli has been elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The NFL's all-time sack leader also intimated that Boselli doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame because of the length of his career and the fact that Boselli played with a left-handed quarterback and didn't have to protect the blind side.
"A large part of the campaign to promote Tony Boselli into the Hall of Fame seems to hyper focus on a single successful performance he had against me in a 1996 playoff game," Smith said in a statement posted on his official Instagram account.
