The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1979 Semi-Final VOTE
Jun 14, 2025
Written by Committee Chairman 
1979 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the years up to 1978. For “1978,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1972. 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 25 names from…
NIHOF MLB 2025 Cup Standings: Week 10, JUNE 9
Jun 10, 2025
Written by Committee Chairman 
It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the best five players with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. We know the following: The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points more easily than elite…

1979 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.

RIP: Jim Marshall
Jun 03, 2025
Written by Committee Chairman 
We lost a great one today. Former Minnesota Vikings Defensive End Jim Marshall passed away at the age of 87. A National Champion at Ohio State, Marshall left college early to play professionally in Canada for a year and was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1960. That stint would also last a year, as he was dealt to the Vikings in 1961, and it was there that he became a superstar. Marshall went on to start the next 270 Games for the Vikings, setting a since-broken record of 283 Games Played. A member of the famed “Purple People Eaters”,…

The College Football Hall of Fame tweaks its coaching requirements
Jun 02, 2025
Written by Committee Chairman 
The College Football Hall of Fame has made a minor change to its eligibility requirements for Coaches, and while it seems like a minor one, it could see a major addition. The Hall announced that it is reducing the winning percentage for Coaches from .600 to .595 starting in 2027. That may not seem like it would have much of an impact, but this appears to target one man in particular: Mike Leach, who had a winning percentage of .596 (158-107) over his tenure at Texas Tech, Washington State, and Mississippi State. He passed away in 2022 at the age…

Thomas was Denver’s 22nd Overall Pick in 2010,…
