Sep 17, 2026
Written by Committee Chairman 
Regular visitors to 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, we want the Toronto Raptors to retire Kyle Lowry's No. 7 this season during their January 10 home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Lowry began his pro career with the Memphis Grizzlies, then joined the Houston Rockets, where his skills evolved, but some viewed him as a bit of a malcontent. He was traded to the…

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 2001 Preliminary VOTE
Sep 12, 2026
Written by Committee Chairman 
2001 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still figuring that out, we treated the PFHOF as having its first class in January 1946. For “2001,” a Preliminary Vote with over 100 players whose playing career ended by 1995. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were…
The Notinhalloffame Pro Football Hall of Fame Monitor has been revised: Defensive Backs Edition
Sep 09, 2026
Written by Committee Chairman 
The 2026 NFL season is here, and we have updated our Pre-Season Football Monitor. As we have expanded our projects, we can’t say we've expanded the team behind the scenes!

We will add more during the season (and yes, we know that defeats the purpose of pre-season), but thank you for your patience. We have unveiled the Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Offensive Linemen, Defensive Linemen/Linebackers/Pass Rushers/EDGE, and we conclude with Defensive…
