Chiefs Posnanski: It’s ludicrous that Derrick Thomas isn’t in the Hall yet

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has exactly zero legitimacy to me as long as DT is not a member. Ludicrous is the correct word. There are zero reasons for not electing DT. Not a single one. Yet the bumbling idiots that vote for the HoF keep passing over him.

Why should we give a shit about what a group of bumbling idiots thinks are good football players?

Because bumbling idiots aside, the HOF is still the benchmark for legendary players.

And I'm saying that, when the voters have a football IQ equivalent to the likes of Hootie, findthedr, and kcbubb, we should find a better benchmark.
