Amidst the hoopla of Silva/Sonnen II, Tito Ortiz is now officially a member of the UFC Hall of Fame.  The Dana White run organization does not appear to have any pattern to decide inductees, nor any discernable requirement that we can tell.  Still, the UFC is the fastest growing sport of the last ten years, and we again congratulate Tito Ortiz for becoming the ninth member of the Hall.

Gang, as we move onward and upward we go back to our original concept which was the ranking of bands/artists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  As such, we are looking at the artists we have from 2013 to 2020 and are adding those we think we have missed.  once completed, we will be going forward to 2025. 

We have already uploaded additions for 2013 and 2014.  Today we have a whopping seventeen new additions for 2015.  They are:

Bell Biv Devoe
Damn Yankees
Deee-Lite
FireHouse
Jellyfish
Keith Urban
Mazzy Star
Nelson
Ocean Colour Scene
Ride
Saint Etienne
Slaughter
Spiritualized
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Uncle Tupelo
Vanilla Ice
Wilson Phillips

They are all up and ready for your opinions!!!   Look for more additions in the next two weeks!

 

Baseball Hall of Famer, Reggie Jackson has never been shy with his opinions.  In this week's Sports Illustarted, Jackson has this to say:

On Alex Rodriguez: "Al's a very good friend. But I think there are real questions about his numbers. As much as I like him, what he admitted about his usage does cloud some of his records."

On players liked to PEDs getting into the Hall of Fame: "If any of those guys get in, no Hall of Famer will attend."

On Andy Pettitte possibly beign inducted into the Hall of Fame: "The question is going to be a guy like Andy Pettitte, who admitted that he got involved for a while, but who is so universally respected in the game. I think he'll get in, but there will be a lot of [members] who won't go."

On Hall of Famers who he feels should not have been voted in: "I didn't see Kirby Puckett as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Gary Carter as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Don Sutton as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Phil Niekro as a Hall of Famer. As much as I like Jim Rice, I'm not so sure he's a Hall of Famer."

On whether or not Bert Blyleven shouild have been elected: "No. No, no, no, no. Blyleven wasn't even the dominant pitcher of his era, it was Jack Morris."
