Peter King Explains His (Absurd) Reason For Not Voting Troy Polamalu Into Hall Of Fame

The good news is Troy Polamalu is a first ballot Hall of Famer. But if other writers took the same presumptive attitude as Peter King, he might not have gotten in.

The selection committee doesn’t have an easy job. But they have a simple one. Vote for the five modern era candidates most worthy of being enshrined into Canton.

Somehow, King failed to do that.

In his weekly MMQB for Pro Football Talk, King disclosed his final ballot: Steve Atwater, Tony Boselli, Steve Hutchinson, Edgerrin James and John Lynch.
