Chad Peters, of DallasCowboys.com, reports that former Dallas Cowboys WR Drew Pearson believes there is a possible anti-Cowboys bias among voters for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "The only way this is going to be corrected . . . if the Hall of Fame committee cares if they can squash this talk about a conspiracy is to make the votes public," Pearson said. "We need to see the voting trends of some of these guys, and see if there is a pattern going on. I would love to see the history of the voting from the last 20 years for the Hall of Fame. I bet there is a trend there against Cowboys, and I bet you can find certain writers from the old days voting against the Cowboys, no matter who the player might be."
