00:00How would you vote for the Patriots Hall of Fame?
00:02Adam Vinatieri, Logan Mankins, Julian Edelman.
00:06Do I even need to ask, Corinne?
00:08Like, I feel like this one, I mean, it would be an obvious vote for me.
00:12How did you vote in this?
00:15Yeah, it's an obvious vote for me, too.
00:17We need to put those three nominees out there, though,
00:19to give Vox Populity a chance to make their feelings known
00:24because the Patriots fans are the ones who dictate who goes in.
00:27We just narrow the field.
00:28I would say Vinatieri has to be in.
00:31I think Edelman has an extremely credible case against Vinatieri,
00:36but I think you're really ignorant of the foundational level
00:40of the Patriots dynasty if you don't say, yeah, that's all well and good
00:44that he was instrumental in three Super Bowl runs and wide receivers,
00:48trump kickers to an extent, but what Adam did was exceptional.
00:52But Vrabel last week just said without hesitation, Adam,
00:57and I actually spoke to Rodney Harrison this morning and asked him,
01:01and he didn't even let me finish.
01:02He said, Adam.
01:03And I think the most Patriots fans will say the same thing.
01:06Yeah, I think so, too, although I wonder if some of the younger demo
01:09will just say Edelman and all the big catches that he had
01:12and the unbelievable postseasons that he had.
01:14It's just more top of mind, not that Adam Vinatieri isn't.
01:17Yeah, a lot of trepidation, a lot of trepidation in the nomination meeting
01:23about that, and to the point where it almost felt like people were reluctant
01:30to have Edelman on the ballot.
01:33I'm like, look, you can't just rig the system.
01:35You've got to put it out.
01:36It's a fan vote.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Well, you can.
01:39Kraft rigged the system for Parcells, right?
01:42Well, he put him in as a contributor.
01:44He didn't get elected by the fans.
01:46So it's kind of splitting hairs, but to an extent.
01:49He rigged it with Brady.
01:51Right, right, right.
01:51But I think that would have been a formality anyway.
01:54This did not occur to me.
01:55We'll get this from time to time, Twitch chat, text line, even phone calls.
01:59Should they rig it for Bill and just put Bill directly in?
02:02Some people are a little sensitive about that.
02:04Like, hey, if they're going to do it for Brady,
02:06and obviously they can put in Parcells as a contributor,
02:09what's the holdup on Bill?
02:11I think the holdup on Bill is his end date is a little bit more ambiguous
02:15than Brady.
02:16You know, how long is he going to keep coaching?
