There are so many of you that have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I was a season ticket holder for the Knicks for years when they were watchable. I used to look at the press table and 80% of the writers would be MIA from tipoff until the last five minutes of the game. I would read their "expert" analysis the next day and it was painfully obvious which guys watched the WHOLE game and which guys just caught the end. The reality is your peers are a sloppy group and a large percentage of them wear their biases on their sleeves like a badge of honor. You're a solid writer, but no one can take anything you write on LT seriously. You hate the guy's guts. So, your bias will either creep in or you, being aware of your bias, will go too far the other way to try to compensate for your bias. No one knows what these guys do on the field and the value they add (or don't) to their team more than the other players. Are they biased, as well? Sure. But they understand the game on a level no sportswriter can. Let the players vote. I would trust their results far more than I trust the results sportswriters have been giving us for decades. We both know there are players that deserve to be in the HOF and aren't and that the opposite is true as well. As long as the media rewards "preachers" like Peter King more than they respect journalists, writers should not vote. All it means for most of your peers is another excuse for a boring, hot air lecture disguised as a column or article.dweez115noreply@blogger.com
