Bill Polian denied he had anything to do with Bill Belichick not getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, despite a report that suggested otherwise.   The former Bills and Colts general manager is said to have told some voters that Belichick should have to “wait a year” before making it into the Hall as punishment for the 2007 Spygate scandal, ESPN reported.   However, Polian told Sports Illustrated that it’s simply not the case, shooting down the notion that he had an influence on Belichick being snubbed.
