Gang, after a long time we have finally completed the revised WWE List.  Votes that were cast had been taken into consideration, and many of those we had listed as Fringe Candidates have moved into the regular list.  Fringe Candidates are basically announcers, promoters and pre-WWF performers.

Another change is that the list has grown from 200 to 250.  Remember, we are not saying that all 250 of these candidates should be in the Hall; rather we are presenting our top 250 for consideration and to foster a fun debate. 

With that said, take a look and let us know what you think!

The Football Hall of Fame has released their Semi-Finalist selections, and it should be no shock that few surprises have emerged.  A quick look sees a very familiar list, and few new names have emerged among this year's eligible players.   The list includes (with our ranking listed in front)....

2.  Curtis Martin: RB, Patriots & Jets

3.  Will Shields: OG, Chiefs

4.  Willie Roaf: OT, Saints & Chiefs

5.  Cris Carter: WR, Eagles, Vikings & Dolphins

6.  Cortez Kennedy: DT, Seahawks

9.  Dermontti Dawson: C, Steelers

13. Tim Brown: WR, Raiders

14. Jerome Bettis: RB, Rams & Steelers

15. Andre Reed: WR, Bills & Redskins

16. Chris Doleman: DT/LB, Vikings, Falcons & 49ers

17. Rogers Craig: RB, 49ers, Raiders & Vikings

19. Charles Haley: DT/LB, 49ers & Cowboys

23. Aeneas Williams: CB/S, Cardinals & Rams

26. Steve Atwater: S, Broncos & Jets

35. Terrell Davis: RB, Broncos

41. Donnie Shell: S, Steelers

45. Kevin Greene: Rams, Steelers, Panthers & 49ers

68. Steve Tasker: Special Teams, Oilers & Bills

72. Karl Mecklenberg: LB, Broncos

Unranked. Clay Matthews Jr.: LB, Browns & Falcons

The semi-finalists also include former innovative coach, Don Coryell, former 49ers Owner, Eddie DeBartolo Jr., superstar coach, Bill Parcells, former Commisioner, Paul Tagliabue and contributors Ron Wolf & George Young.

For us, it gets worth debating when it gets stripped down to the Finalists.  Want to bet we won't be surprised with that selection?

Does winning the MVP AND the Cy Young Award mean you will get into the Baseball Hall of Fame?   It may surprise you that less than half of those who accomplished that dual threat are in Cooperstown.

Of those the previous nine pitchers who landed both trophies in a season, only four are in.  This would be Sandy Koufax, Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers and Bob Gibson.

A fifth, Roger Clemens, should have had his ticket punched in a few years, but with his adventures with Congress we doubt that will happen.

Three others, Vida Blue, Denny McLain and Don Newcombe had very good careers and are listed on our top one hundred of potential Baseball HOF inductees.

The last is Willie Hernandez who is largely forgotten, even in Detroit where he accomplished this feat.

Which list will Justin Verlander land?
