Veteran 49ers reporter among those axed from Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee
Matt Maiocco is in his 32nd season covering the San Francisco 49ers.
John Lynch, general manager of the San Francisco 49ers, spoke to Matt Maiocco - a veteran beat reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area - prior to a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Maiocco recently lost his seat on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee following organizational changes sparked by Bill Belichick's snub. Nineteen reporters have so far confirmed losing their spots on the committee, with some, like Kuharsky, making their status public while others have not.
Maiocco, who has covered the 49ers for 32 seasons, has not commented on his removal. The Hall of Fame reduced its voting base from 50 to 28 members, and the restructuring followed Belichick's non-selection in his first year of eligibility. The Hall emphasizes the importance of the selection process, stating that any member violating the process would face consequences.
