Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Dallas Cowboys.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Cowboys won their division with a 12-5 record, but were unable to make noise in the playoffs.  America’s Team still has stars, and we saw elevations and a top 50 debut.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Emmitt Smith

2. Bob Lilly

3. Roger Staubach

4. Randy White

5. Mel Renfro

You can find the entire list here.

The new entry is current Quarterback, Dak Prescott, who makes his first appearance at #47.

Tight End, Billy Joe DuPree has been knocked off the list.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com continue to add and modify our sections, and as such, we are pleased to announce additions to our Basketball Futures.

Corey Brewer:  Brewer won two NCAA Titles with Florida and on the pro level, he was an NBA Champion with Dallas in 2011.

DeMarre Carroll:  Carroll was the January 2005 Co-Player of the Month, and spent his best seasons with Atlanta.

J.R. Smith:  Smith was the 2012-13 Sixth Man of the Year and he would win a title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.

Kyle Korver:  Korver was a star at Creighton, and would later earn a trip to the All-Star Game as an Atlanta Hawk in 2015.

Ryan Anderson:  Anderson was named the Most Improved Player of the Year in 2011-12.

Tyson Chandler:  Chandler won the 2012/13 Defensive Player of the Year and was an Olympic Gold Medalist for the United States in 2012.

They join Jamal Crawford and Joakim Noah.

Look for us to continue to add to these in the future.

The Brooklyn Nets have a problem. Last season was a bust and should have delivered much more than a limp first-round play-off loss to the Boston Celtics. Now the futures of two of their big names, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, are very much in doubt, and the former of that pair is said to have given his side an ultimatum in relation to his future at the Barclays Center.

The two-time NBA Champion is said to have told Nets owner Joe Tsai that unless he dispenses with the services of general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash, he’ll seek to leave Brooklyn. 

Last season the Nets were considered one of the favorites for the NBA title, and a fair amount of sports betting enthusiasts would have back that bet via sports-betting-ny.com only to see the side struggle for large chunks of the season and end with a very average regular season record of 44-38, and if it were not for Durant, that record could have been significantly worse. 

Subsequently, Tsai has moved to quash talk of either of his main backroom staff leaving, stating that they have his support and now there is growing speculation that Durant may push to join the Celtics, a trade that is aided by the fact that he has a strong relationship with Boston coach Ime Udoka, who he worked with at both Brooklyn and as part of the successful Team USA team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Kyrie Irving is also said not to be happy with the Marks and Nash combination but has less of a say in the matter given his problematic relationship with the Nets after missing out on large chunks of last season due to his vaccination status.

Durant, on the other hand, is a player with less baggage, and when he points out his issues with a coach and general manager, these are clearly going to be listened to, and now the ball is seemingly very much in Tsai’s court.

As a 12-time NBA All-Star, Durant has a great deal of sway in what happens with the Nets, and Brooklyn would do well to try to appease the situation as much as possible, even if this doesn’t mean acting on his advice to sack the pair.

If Durant were to leave, there would clearly be a lot of interested parties, and some speculation has arisen about a move to join the Phoenix Suns. 

John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 added to the rumors via his sports talk show, stating;

"I'm hearing, and take it for what it's worth, ok? I'm hearing that Kevin Durant is expected to be in the Valley tonight,"

This was echoed by Mike Jurecki, who tweeted;

"Hearing KD landed in Phoenix around 7ish PM has a driver who also provides his security," 

"Technically, he can't meet with the Suns without permission which doesn't preclude him from talking to Suns players."

You can expect a lot more on this story, especially if the 33-year-old doesn’t directly discuss his plans on the matter any time soon.

The Melbourne Cup is known to all Australians as the race that stops the nation - and it’s coming up quickly… It will be run on the first Tuesday of November as it is every year and the bookies will be getting their best odds out. If you don’t know much about the race (or have lived under a stone), then you might want to read the Melbourne Cup guide at Punters.


However, we are expecting a race more exciting than ever - with a massive prize pool - and some incredible performances. If you are looking to watch the race - and put your money on your favourites, then here are some of the best Melbourne Cup betting markets.


The Most Popular Melbourne Cup Betting Markets

As the most popular race in the country, it certainly attracts a lot of betting activity - more than any other race in Australia. On average, every year, the top Australian betting sites turnover around $100 million in wagers - and winners often get quite an excellent return given its large open field. However, some betting markets attract more attention than others. Here are the five most common Melbourne Cup bet types:


The Outright / Straight Out Winner Bet

This is the most common of all - and is particularly popular with those who don’t bet that often on horse races. It is simply a bet on which horse will win the race. If your chosen horse doesn’t come first, then you lose your bet. A win bet pays out more return than a place bet (which we will look at below) - but it is a lot harder to win, so it’s always a case of risk v reward.


Place Bet: Bet on the First Three Positions

A place bet is when you are betting on a horse to come in either first, second or third. Because they are easier to win, they will usually pay out one-quarter of what you would win for a straight-out winner bet. So, placing $10 on a straight-up bet on a horse might win $80, but placing the same $10 bet on the horse placing would only win $20.


These are very popular with casual bettors as they offer a better chance of winning.


Each Way Bets

Another common type of horse bet is each-way betting. This is a mix of the two above bets - you are betting on the horse to win or place. However, this means that if you place a $10 each way bet on a horse, it would cost you $20 - $10 on the win and $10 to place. If your horse wins, you get paid for both bets. If the horse places, you only get paid out at the terms set by your bookmaker.


Quinella Bets

A quinella bet is placing a bet on two horses - one to come first and one to come in second. It won’t matter which order they come in though - as long as one of the horses comes in first and the other one second. This is the most straightforward multiple bet you can make on the Melbourne Cup


Trifecta Bet

This is similar to the above-mentioned bet but you are betting on which three horses you think will come in first, second and third. However, although it’s just one more horse, it is a lot harder to win a trifecta bet than it is a Quinella bet, but that also means that the payouts are much better in return. You can place trifecta bets from as little as $0.50. You can make a boxed bet - where they can come in in any order, or a straight trifecta where you also need to predict their exact order.


Similar Races

If you are a fan of Melbourne Cup betting, here are some similar races to enjoy:


  • The Breeder’s Cup, November: This is held over two days and is a famous US race that signals the end of the racing season.
  • The Kentucky Derby, May: America’s most famous horse race and part of the prestigious Triple Crown.
  • The Preakness Stake, May: A Group 1 race held every May in Baltimore, and another part of the Triple Crown in US racing.
