‘They broke my heart.’ Dallas Cowboys legend Drew Pearson reacts to Hall of Fame snub.

Truly a sad day. Drew Pearson in now the only member of the NFL 1970’s All Decade 1st Team not in. The only player NOT in. #Cowboys @NBCDFWSports pic.twitter.com/1601DD4myZ

I'm thrilled for Cliff, gutted for Drew. But Cliff Harris was one of the rare players that Tom Landry trusted enough to freelance in the famous flex defense. And Cliff is such a wonderful person. https://t.co/C1R6BM86qa

Incredible day for the @ProFootballHOF electing 13 new members.

But the sad truth is it’s tainted.

There is only ONE 1st-team all-decade player from the modern era (since 1960) not in the hall - Drew Pearson; glaring omission.#FixIt pic.twitter.com/E91bAL0Mmh

Well, this is sad as all hell.

Drew Pearson is understandably emotional and frustrated.

The Super Bowl Champ & member of the 1970s All-Decade Team has once again been passed over for the Hall of Fame.#DallasCowboys | @wfaa | #PFHOF20 pic.twitter.com/DjQ9ng5ZM3

Harold Carmichael was greatness and deserves to be in Hall of Fame. I still can't wrap my mind around how the voters picked a guy who made 2nd team all decade of 70s over a guy in Drew Pearson who was first team at WR. The process failed Drew Pearson again. It ain't right

There are 18 first-team all-decade receivers in history. 17 have a place in Canton. Drew Pearson is the only one missing. https://t.co/6X2kDTaUwW

Heartbroken for Drew. I remain confident he will have a spot in Canton, but I know the wait is agonizing. https://t.co/w2ih2AZAqp

There is no question Drew Pearson belongs in the Hall of Fame. I firmly believe that. But for me, it isn’t because of the very subjective All-70s team list that somehow is given the credibility of the original copy of the Declaration of Independence.
