Damn straight that is it. To make that case I bring up the case of one Chris Spielman LB for Ohio State 1984-87 and the Lombardi trophy vote of 1986. It was between Spielman, Bosworth and Cornelius Bennett. Both Spielman and Bennett were better statistically than Bosworth that season. Damn, Spielman had more tackles than the other two combined, but Bosworth won since he was more showy and outrageous. To get press and any attention you need to be at least mouthy anymore, even better be outrageous and that was true back in the day Art was playing also. Broadway Joe sort of started that back in the day going with glitiz, etc. Irving was an asshole, he made waves, said a bunch of crap, and loved his coke and became a media sensation for it. He probably shared some coke with members of the media for all we know. Art should have been inducted in the HOF back in the late 90's. If he isn't inducted soon, I say we organzie a protest bring some molotov cocktails, and have ourselves one helluva bonfire!!!!!
