The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has always been a chaotic animal.  They have no pattern in when they announce the nominees, and when they announce the date, it is often in the middle of the night.  The Cleveland-based institution was so oblivious towards the other major Halls, that they changed the date when they realized it was the same time as the Pro Football Hall of Fame had a scheduled announcement.  Had they been paying attention, they would have seen that the PFHOF does follow an announcement structure, as do the other major sports, but their pattern has…

Football lost a great one as Quarterback Roman Gabriel passed away this morning.  He was 83 years old. A two-time All-American and two-time ACC Player of the Year, Gabriel was drafted second overall in 1962 by the Los Angeles Rams.  Despite his high selection, it was not until George Allen came into Coach in 1966 that he was given the full-time role as the Rams starting Quarterback.   Gabriel went to the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons (1967-69) and was named a First Team All-Pro and MVP in 1969.  That year, he led the NFL in Touchdown Passes (24) and…

For “1958,” a Preliminary Vote with over 130 players whose playing career ended by 1952. We are also following the structure in that 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…

A momentous retirement has occurred as Blake Griffin, a player who has left an indelible mark on the game, has decided to call it a career after 14 seasons. An All-American at the University of Oklahoma, Griffin was named the 2009 National College Player of the Year.  His success with the Sooners landed him the First Overall Pick in the ’09 Draft, joining the Los Angeles Clippers, though in what was then typical Clipper fashion, he missed the entirety of the 2009-10 season with an injured kneecap.  This setback led to one of the best rookie seasons of all-time, averaging…
