Andre Reed will have to wait at least one more year. The former Buffalo Bills receiver was not elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday afternoon.
2012 marked the sixth consecutive year Reed was elegible for the Hall, and third straight year he made it to the round of 15 finalists. It was also the third straight year that he advanced past the first cut, and into the round of 10 finalists.
The Class of 2012 consists of Dermonti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin, Willie Roaf and Jack Butler from the senior committee.
This sucks...he is desrving and should have made it before some of the others who made it before him. Voters suck.

Curtis Martin?
Give me an effin break!
02/04/2012 6:44PM
Really
Cortez Kenndey gets in before Andre, what a JOKE the HOF is
02/04/2012 7:04PM
Raped
He should have been in, at one point be was #2 in all time receptions behind Rice.

Future Hall of Flamer
Andre has this sense of entitlement about him. This will humble him and maybe finally put to rest this notion that Andre Reed is a "future hall of famer"
Too bad Reed isn't a cool guy. I might feel bad for him...
02/04/2012 7:18PM
No Surprise..
Only Andre Reed thinks he belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame
02/04/2012 7:39PM
HAHAHAHA!!!
I never liked Andre Reed - as a person. he's too arrogant
02/04/2012 8:04PM
andre reed
what a joke andre reed should be in the hall of fame to make him to wait another year is a joke lets go buffalo
02/04/2012 8:33PM
joke
you got to be kidding me !!!! chris doleman really ??? wow just terrible. reed was one third of the best offense in the AFC of the 90's. JOKE JOKE JOKE
02/04/2012 8:50PM
could the class of 2012 be any worse if they tried?
you talk about a weak class, look at this one...
Reed
Bettis
Carter
Haley
All of them are more deserving than any member elected this year.
02/04/2012 9:23PM
Really
All these guys over Reed? He didnt deserve it more then at least one of them? Weakest class....maybe ever.
02/04/2012 10:03PM
Jack Butler - St. Bonaventure c/o 1951!
And women's basketball deserves Top 25.
02/04/2012 10:51PM
Are you kidding
Reed didn't make it again...Martin shouldn't of got in at all.
02/04/2012 11:18PM
What a joke!
I think there was some kind of sellout this year. The only one I think was worthy is Curtis Martin and have no problem with that...but the others? No Andre Reed, No Chris Carter or DeBartolo or Parcells...something really stinks here for sure!
02/05/2012 12:36AM
LAME!
Andre should be in hands down. Michael "Cokehead" Irvin is in, but not the classy, sure hands Reed. These voters who determine who's in and who's out is lousy!
02/05/2012 1:47AM
Are you people asleep?
OK, Andre didn't make it but a guy from St. Bonaventure did...isn't that worth some coverage?
02/05/2012 9:25AM
No loss for Canton...
Andre would be a hands down member of the Hall of "very good" for sure. Not to say the others deserve, but the Bills' are done for quite some time in the Hall hunt.
02/05/2012 11:11AM
Hotels
I how Sully will be doing a story on Andre and what he thinks about Hotels in Buffalo.
02/05/2012 11:13AM
Sully
Will Sully being a story on Andre and what he thinks of the hotels in Buffalo. What great reporting this week by him. He is a true asset to the area.
02/05/2012 11:57AM
The real crime
Chris Carter should have been in years ago, and as much as Andre deserves the hall, Carter is more deserving.
02/05/2012 12:26PM
I refuse to watch the Super Bowl because of this.
Andre Reed IS a hall of famer. The game has changed; they should not base it purely on stats.
02/05/2012 1:04PM
Booooooo
How did Curtis Martin make it in his first try over Reed, Carter, & Bettis. It sure seems like a weak class. I guess the voters hate WRs from the 90s.
02/05/2012 1:19PM
Jack Butler
Why aren't you talking about him wgr? He graduated from my Alma mater, St. Bonaventure University. Oh Well, Congratulations to Jack Butler...its a shame SBU doesn't have a Football Program anymore...Hopefully Reed Gets in next year
02/05/2012 2:45PM
Bite Me
What are these guys looking at! Andre was one of the best in the years he played. We need an overhaul of the election committee. Cortez Kennedy in, Andre out! Give me a break,
02/05/2012 4:03PM
Senior Member
Andre won't get in now until he is a senior member. Too many tough classes come up. A real shame.
02/06/2012 9:04AM
yay Jack Butler
well deserved and a long time coming a great Western New York product from St. Bona's
02/06/2012 12:02PM
Funny
I hope the Bills who have their jackets take solace in that. they should all be ashamed at losing to the giants. I hope that night out boozing it up was worth it.
02/06/2012 1:07PM
Mr. Arrogant
news flash - every HOF'r is arrogant and there is NOTHING wrong with it. Get real Buffalonians. Jim, Bruce & Thurman aren't arrogant? Reed deserves to be in and if he played in this era, would be a 1st ballot.
02/06/2012 4:10PM
Hmmm
No Superbowl wins has much to do with it. Robbed again like in the big games!
02/07/2012 8:10AM
WRS
Tim Brown and Chris Carter both have more receiving yards and TD catches over Andre Reed. Reed has only 4 1000 yard seasons while Brown has 9 and Carter 8. How do you figure Reed should get in first? Oh, because you're a biased Bills fan.
