You know, it's starting to get ridiculous. Sure, it's easy for a biased New York Jets fan like myself to complain about this. But it's not without warrant. It's been nine years now. Nine long years have passed since one of the greatest ever to do it hung up his cleats. Four years have passed since his Hall of Fame eligibility began.
But almost half a decade into his window of opportunity, the late great Nick Mangold still lacks a bust in the Hall of Fame gallery. It was wrong on the first ballot, and it's just as wrong today.
