Amendola Backs Brady for 2028 Hall Vote as Belichick Misses on First Ballot

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 4

Summary

  • Danny Amendola said it would be “crazy” if Tom Brady were not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first try when he becomes eligible in 2028.
  • Belichick’s surprise failure to make it on the first ballot this week triggered the concern, with reported voter resistance tied to Spygate and Deflategate during New England’s dynasty.
  • Brady’s own link to Deflategate led to a 4-game suspension in 2015, but Amendola said he is already “getting my suit ready” for Brady’s expected induction.
  • 7 Super Bowl titles, 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdown passes and 333 starts make Brady the NFL’s most decorated quarterback, underscoring why Belichick’s snub has rattled former Patriots.
