Gino Cappelletti: Hall of Fame Snub
John Hurley wrote a fascinating article for Talkoffametwo.com expressing why Gino Cappelletti belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Hurley goes on and states that there is a bias against the players from the old rival AFL. Cappelletti is a co-owner of the record for most times he led the league in scoring (5) tied with Don Huston of the 1940s Green Bay Packers, and Patriots Stephen Gostkowski.
These are just a couple of facts Hurley uses in his argument. Cappelletti led the AFL in scoring in 1961 and 1963-66, and his 1,100 points are 164 more than second-place finisher and Raiders QB/PK, Hall-of-Famer George Blanda.
