Sports enthusiasts certainly love untypical forms of entertainment that might ensure the same rush of adrenaline as a heated game of their favorite sport. However, sometimes it might be challenging to find something that will engage you the same as a great match between rival teams. Here are some suggestions for the best forms of entertainment that will satisfy even the pickiest sports enthusiasts.

So…what does longevity mean?

As far as we are concerned, it should matter a lot!

Braydon Coburn had a phenomenal career in Junior Hockey, winning Gold in the World Juniors and WJU18 while excelling at the blueline for the Portland Winter Hawks.  Coburn was a First Round Pick (8^th Overall) in 2003, debuting two years later with the Atlanta Thrashers, but he only played 38 Games in ATL before he was traded to Philadelphia.

Coburn honed his skills in Broad Street, becoming a stalwart on Defense capable of providing an offensive rush.  Better as a traditional stay-at-home Defenseman, Coburn was dealt to Tampa Bay in 2015, giving depth to the contenders and playing a small role in their 2020 Stanley Cup win.  He finished his career with brief spells with the New York Islanders and Ottawa before retiring in 2021.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is news to us that the Washington Commanders will be retiring the number 9 of former Hall of Fame Quarterback, Sonny Jurgensen.

Jurgensen, who is 88, was associated with the franchise for over 50 years, primarily as a player, and later as a radio broadcaster.

After seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, the latter three where he was a starter, Jurgensen was traded to the then-named Washington Redskins before the 1964 Season, and it would prove to be an excellent fit.  A five-time Pro Bowl Selection in Washington, Jurgensen set a then record 3,747 Passing Yards in 1967, and was a five-time leader in Passing Yards, three of which as a Redskin.  Losing his starting job to Billy Kilmer in 1971, Jurgensen remained with the team until 1974.  

With Washington, Jurgensen threw for 22,585 Yards and 179 Touchdowns.  He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983.

He becomes the fourth player in Commanders history to have his number retired, joining Sean Taylor (#21), Sammy Baugh (#33) and Bobby Mitchell (#49).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Sonny Jurgensen for this impending accolade.
