Not in Hall of Fame News

Regular visitors of notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Tennessee Titans have announced that former Running Back Chris Johnson will be inducted into their Ring of Honor during their season opener against the New York Jets on September 13.

Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. We will eventually extend that to the major universities, and thus it is important to us that Ohio State will be honoring Jim Tressel as a member of the Ohio Stadium Ring of Honor this September. Tressel first coached at Ohio State from 1983 to 1985, where he was the Quarterbacks/Running Backs coach, but he departed for the…
