Bucccaneers Great John Lynch’s HOF Exclusion Absurd
John Lynch was once again left at the Hall of Fame altar, excluding the Buccaneers legend’s Hall worthy career.
No, he doesn’t have jump of the page stats. No, he wasn’t part of a dynasty that brought home multiple Super Bowl rings. No, he was never the flashiest or most popular player in the league. However, John Lynch‘s run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos is Hall of Fame worthy – despite the voter’s bias against safeties.
Ira Kauffman – formerly of the Tampa Tribune and currently of JoeBucsFan.com – was the man responsible for pleading Lynch’s case to the voters. Sal Paolantonio of ESPN has dubbed Ira “The Closer”, but unfortunately he couldn’t close the deal Saturday.
