COMMENTARY
Heard some static from Patriots fans over the past few days, annoyed that Richard Seymour was left on the doorstep of the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the third straight year after reaching finalist status.
I get the annoyance with the situation. The voting is secretive, and the outcomes are often bewildering. But don’t get discouraged about Seymour’s chances, or for that matter those of some of his overlooked ring-hoarding Patriots teammates such as Rodney Harrison and Willie McGinest (still the NFL’s all-time leader in postseason sacks).
For all but the elite of the elite, the process is torturous.
