UPDATED: As one #Broncos great told me, "It's a sad day in Broncos Country." Linebacker Randy Gradishar fails in his bid for Hall of Fame. He still has a decent chance to get in someday. But today hurts. My #Denver7 story: http://bit.ly/2to6cuv

Jeff Legwold is #Broncos HOF presenter... He works his ass off in these cases, see Floyd Little for example. Eventually Gradishar gets in I believe. Again, what I don't understand: take names and teams out. Look at numbers/awards. Gradishar should be a lock. #Denver7

I am not going to talk about bias.. Fans can make up their mind about that. Just know the numbers. As @MaseDenver said, Gradishar is one of 10 LBs in NFL history w 10 fumble recoveries, 20 interceptions and seven Pro Bowl berths. The other nine are in the Hall of Fame. #Denver7

Reminder that's no consolation. Belief is that 20 members eligible today will all eventually get into HOF: So Gradishar and Drew Pearson over the next 3-to-5 years. But man this waiting is agonizing, annoying, and in Gradishar's case, unnecessary. Stats scream he's HOFer #Denver7
