No, you have to earn your way!! but they'll put anybody in now, so why not.he never won a ring and the bills have been an awful team except for a few years when they made the super bowl (never won).

Yes. The man has kept a solid interest in Buffalo, one of the coldest cities to play football ... the stadium is sold out each time the Bills play. He was a major asset as an owner in the AFL. He drafted O.J. Simpson waaaaaay back before he knew a guy like that could turn women into pez dispensers, and the Bills went to four straight Super Bowls in the 1990s. While most owners are disliked for not paying athletes the top dollars needed to get them there, he is revered in upstate New York because the Bills have stayed competitive for so long. He is well-liked by other owners, the media and top NFL brass, and WILL get into the Hall of Fame.

Yes. I am older
he was a pioneer in the AFL That was the American Football League. I grew up with this league and they forced a merger with the NFL. He had some brillant teams in the middle 1960s. He was the man that drafted OJ before the sad part of his life. The first player with 2000 yards in a season.
Played in the old War Memorial that was built during the great depression with people from the WPA.
Yes. he does deserve this honor for his dedication to the infnancy of football in this nation.
