Ilia Malinin is nothing I've seen before in sports. A tremendous hybrid athlete who has the ability to make figure skating popular as snowboarding with his stunt mentality.

This reflects more on the committee than on Belichick. What a show of pursy-mouthed, small minded, meanness and spite. It's hard to look Hall of Fame with as much respect as I did an hour ago.

Ask me, the only question about college athletes on campus is not what they're making while they're there, but if the university is giving them the decent education they're promised in the scholarship, or cheating them out of it.
