Committee Chairman
This was sudden. David Baker has just announced his immediate resignation as the President of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, citing that it was time to return home, and retire. He held that post for eight years. You will have to forgive us, as the timing seems very suspect. We are a little more than a month away from the announcement of the 2022 Semi-Finalists, and are nearly a third into the NFL Season. An abrupt retirement at this time, coinciding with the Washington Football Team scandal that saw the NFL go through over 60,000 e-mails raises red flags. We have been…

Written by
Committee Chairman
As dawn rises on the 2021-21 NBA Season, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are continuing our new tradition of the pre-season 50 current players based on their Hall of Fame current resume. Consider this our version of a Hall of Fame monitor. Here is how we decide our Top 50: The most significant factor we look at is how each active player measures up to the last fourteen players who were chosen. To be specific, we are focusing only on players who were voted through the conventional means and not through any special committee. What this means that no Direct-Elect Committee Inductees will…

Our goal at Notinhalloffame.com has always been to expand, and we are now in the “business” of post season awards. That’s right sports agents! Work this into your client’s contracts! Here we are unveiling the first ever MLB Cup, awarded to the player who achieved the most Points in a year. Confused, aren’t you? It is very simple what we did. In every MLB game in the 2021 season, we borrowed from the Three Stars that the NHL does after every game. Three Points were given to the best player of the game, two for the second and one for the third. It…
