Is this another example of ESPN setting the agenda like they did with the NHL 10-15 years ago? I know ESPN dumped their nightly Baseball Tonight show and laid off a bunch of baseball writers. Now baseball seems out of sight, out of mind.

My point is, I had no idea this first round of old timer HoF voting was happening, nor was I aware that the winter meetings started today. And I had to google it to find out - I just knew the winter meetings usually happened between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You are not alone with this one.
