1960 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project Class.

Here we are!  Again!!

If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know that we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946?

After soliciting and obtaining a passionate group of football fans and historians, we sent out a ballot for a Preliminary Vote, in which we asked each voter to give us 25 names as their semi-finalists and 5 in the Senior Pool. Following that, we asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3 in the Senior Category. The final stage was to vote for their five Modern Era inductee and one Senior inductee.

This is the result of the fifteenth official class;

Below are the final results of this project based on 30 votes,

Remember that the group took a vote in “1960”, and we have reverted back to the top five candidates entering the Hall PROVIDING THEY MAKE 50% of the vote.  This will be put to a vote again in “1963”.

This is for the “Modern Era”

*Bold indicates they have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Class of 1960:

This is for the “Senior Era”, *Bold indicates they have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Class of 1960, though no one made the mandatory 50% threshold to advance.

About the 1960 Inductees:

Ken Kavanaugh E, CHI 1940-41 & 1945-50: Inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project in 1960 on his 5^th Ballot.  Was never inducted into the actual Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

An SEC Player of the Year in 1939 with LSU, Ken Kavanaugh was chosen by the Chicago Bears the following year in the 3^rd Round of the NFL Draft.  The End would be a member of the dominant “Monsters of the Midway” where the won back-to-back NFL Championships (1940 & 1941), scoring a TD in the first one (which was the lopsided 73-0 dismantling of the Washington Redskins).

Like many of his peers, Kavanaugh enlisted to serve his country in World War II, and when he returned, the former LSU Tiger picked up right where he left off.  Kavanaugh would again help the Bears win the 1946 NFL Championship.  He would be named a First Team All-Pro in various publications three times and would twice lead the NFL in Touchdown Receptions before he retired after 1950.  He was named to the 1940's All-Decade Team.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, so this results in a long push to revise what we already have; specifically, now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the sixth ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 51 to 60:

51. Billy Howton
52. Jerry Mays
53. Walt Sweeney
54. Jake Scott
55. London Fletcher
56. Ed Budde
57. Ottis Anderson
58. Cecil Isbell
59. Mark Gastineau
60. Todd Christensen

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Adults all over the world enjoy watching a wide range of sports. From an early age, you may have played a range of sports both at school and in your free time, perhaps even competing in school teams or as part of an amateur league.

The excitement, teamwork, and camaraderie that comes from taking part in sports is something that drives people to perform at their highest level. Taking part in sports can also be a great way to stay in shape as many sporting activities have a focus on both strength and endurance.

If you’re an adult sports fan, you may seek to find pastimes that appeal to this part of your life. In this article, three unique pastimes will be explored; each may be suitable for adult sports fans who are looking to recreate the thrills and excitement that they enjoy from watching professional team sports

1.   Recreate matchday thrills at an online casino

For many sports fans, seeing their home team play a professional match allows them to feel excitement, tension, and elation if their team ultimately triumphs on match day. Similar thrills can be gained by visiting a high-class online casino.

At professionally run establishments, adults can enjoy a wide range of online casino games that suit every taste. Fans of games that rely purely on luck may seek to indulge in a visit to the roulette table or play the latest slot machines, hoping to score a big win. If you enjoy strategizing while playing online, card games such as poker and blackjack will satisfy your needs, allowing you to outthink the dealer or other opponents.

Choose an encrypted site that includes 24/7 customer support and a wide range of games. In short, online casinos can give adult sports fans similar thrills to those gained from watching live matches.

2.   Join a local amateur team

As most adults age, there comes a time when professional-level sports need to be abandoned. Muscle strength reaches optimal levels around the ages of 25–26, and endurance abilities tend to peak between 28 and 30.

After this time, most adults will notice a slow but steady decline in their overall athletic performance. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to give up taking part in team sports.

Many cities have amateur leagues for a range of sports, and some may be specifically aimed at older adults. Search online to find details of the local sporting clubs in your area. You may find that there are sports that you’re interested in taking up, and you’ll enjoy the social aspects that come with taking part in team games.

3.   Tune in to Euro 2024

Finally, while the sport of football (or soccer as it’s known in America) is incredibly popular in Europe and South America, it’s also starting to attract a strong following in the USA. This year, on June 14, the Euro 2024 tournament begins. Germany is the host nation, and some of the strongest European teams will be taking part and hoping to lift the prestigious Henri Delaunay Cup.

Even if you only have a basic knowledge of the sport, a fantastic event is promised, which will include a mesmerizing opening ceremony transmitted to a live audience of billions. Football of the highest level is anticipated with the current favorites, England, hoping to banish the ghosts of lost penalty shootouts from previous competitions and win the tournament for the first time in history.
