The Hall turns to these 1,000 sportswriters as, ostensibly, a body of fair and impartial judges, judges who are reasonably familiar with the subject matter.  I literally can't remember the last time I saw of body of judges that was less fair or more partial.  The judges' personal preferences completely dominate the outcome.  That is annoying.
