TMZ brings us more Hall of Fame related news as it caught up with Terrell Owens who was asked about Donovan McNabb’s claim that he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He answered with one word:

“Who?”

There is a lot of shade in that one-word answer isn’t there?

McNabb and Owens played together in the 2004 and 2005 Season where they feuded with one another.  The Wide Receiver would be injured late in the 2004 season but returned early to assist the Eagles in the Super Bowl where he caught nine passes for 122 Yards. McNabb would throw for three TDs, but also three Interceptions and when Owens would seek a renegotiation of his contract quipped that “he didn’t get tired at the Super Bowl”.  Owens made other comments through the 2005 season and he was suspended by the team and would be released on March of 2006.

He would later claim that he left Philadelphia because “McNabb didn’t want him there.”  

Owens was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year on his third year of eligibility.  He famously criticized the Hall for not selecting him in his first two years and he did not attend the ceremony, choosing to hold his own festivities at his alumni, Tennessee-Chattanooga.  As for McNabb, he has never been a Finalist.

We love this and can’t wait to see what HOF comments TMZ will uncover next!

The University of South Florida has announced their sixth Hall of Fame Class, which will comprise of three former athletes.

The newest members are:

Shantia Grace, Women’s Basketball:  Grace was a First Team All-Big East Selection and was the MVP of the 2009 Women’s NIT, which coincidentally was the only title they won.  Grace is third all-time in scoring for the university and she joins Wanda Guyton and Jessica Dickson as the third female women’s basketball player inducted.

Sara Nevins:  Nevins becomes the second softball player to enter the USF Athletic HOF and she was the ace of the team that went to the 2012 College World Series.  Nevins currently holds the USF record for Wins (101), Saves (20), Innings Pitched (844.1) and Strikeouts (1,103).

George Selvie:  Selvie becomes the third former USF football player to be inducted to the Hall after Anthony Henry and Marquel Henry.  Selvie was the 2007 Big East Defensive Player of the Year and was a huge factor in the Bulls’ number 2 ranking and was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2007.

We here would like to congratulate the latest class of the USF Athletic Hall of Fame.

The Stanley Cup Finals are underway and with it we have our first steps toward finalizing the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2019.

Frank Brown will be inducted by receiving the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for excellence in hockey journalism and Jim Hughson enters by winning the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for his contributions as a hockey broadcaster.

At age 18, Brown would see his first hockey article published and he would be the lead hockey writer for the Associated Press for seven years. He joined the NHL as a communications executive in 1998 and retired last year.

In a 30-year career, Hughson broadcasted hockey at every level and has called the Stanley Cup, World Cup of Hockey, Olympics and World Hockey Championships.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate both Frank Brown and Jim Hughson for earning this honor

It is a sad day in the world of baseball as Bill Buckner died today at the age of 69 after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia.

Buckner is best known for having Mookie Wilson’s ground ball go through his legs in what would have been the final out of Game 6 and would have won the Boston Red Sox the 1986 World Series.  The BoSox would lose Game 7, and the “Curse of the Bambino” would not be broken until they won it all in 2004.

Buckner was however far more than that one play.

The former First Baseman was a 22-year veteran of the Majors, Buckner debuted for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1969 where he played until he joined the Chicago Cubs for the 1977 season.  He would have his best numbers of his career in the Windy City where he would win the 1980 Batting Title and was twice the National League leader in Doubles (1981 & 1983).  Buckner was an All-Star in 1981 and would later play with Boston, California and Kansas City.  He would collect 2,715 Hits with a .289 Batting Average over his 2,517 Games Played.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Bill Buckner at this time.
