Gaylord Perry supports Bonds, slams Rose
Jan 12, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It has felt that for years that existing Baseball Hall of Famers have been constantly stating that PED users have no place in Cooperstown. As such, it took us by surprise when Hall of Fame Pitcher, Gaylord Perry said today that he thought Barry Bonds deserves to be inducted.
It took place in a conference call from Diamond Resorts, and while it was not exactly a glowing endorsement, it was considering that it came from a Hall of Famer over the age of 60:
“I think he’ll get in eventually. If you have a player like that, pretty soon, you put him in.’’
While this is not exactly a ringing endorsement, compared to his Hall of Fame peers it really is!
Perry may have had a somewhat lackadaisical endorsement of Barry Bonds, he had an adamant stance against Pete Rose:
“Pete did the worst thing possible, worse than steroids,…he put money on games, win or lose. He’s paying the price.”
Quite the different stance regarding Rose isn’t it?
Gaylord Perry was not the only Baseball Hall of Fame inductee who was on this conference call. John Smoltz was also on this call and he had a softer stance in regards to Bonds:
“I’m trying to figure out what is actual, and what isn’t, To me, the one thing forgotten in this thing is the mission statement. Character is a big part of it. You have to not only have the numbers, but the character that matches it
If you have first-hand knowledge that a player used, or has publicly acknowledged it, I think it’s an easy decision. When it is circumstance and evidence, and you don’t know, and just follow the rumor mill, that’s difficult for the writer to be judge and jury.”
This is not exactly an endorsement for Bonds, but it is not a condemnation either.
As it stands now, Bonds and his “PED brethren” are on the outside looking in, but from revealed ballots it looks like he and his ilk are inching closer to the 75% needed to get in. As some writers have put it, the fact Bud Selig has been chosen by the Today’s Game Committee, it is harder to omit the players who juiced up under his watch.
The Baseball Hall of Fame will announce their Class of 2017 on the 17th of January.
This could be the most interesting vote yet!
The College Football HOF Announces the 2017 Class
Jan 10, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
January is all about the Hall of Fame isn’t it?
The College Football Hall of Fame has announced thirteen new entries for the Class of 2017 comprising of three Head Coaches and ten former players.
Head Coach, Steve Spurrier. For many, this is the headliner of the 2017 Class. Spurrier was already inducted as a player from his stint with Florida where he won the 1986 Heisman Trophy. As a Head Coach, Spurrier took over the reigns of Duke where in three years (1987-89) he would win one ACC Championship and two ACC Coach of the Years. He would move to his alumni, the University of Florida where he would win five SEC Titles and seven SEC Coach of the Year Awards. Most importantly, he would take the Gators to the National Championship in 1996. He was Florida’s coach for 12 seasons.
After a less than stellar performance coaching the Washington Redskins, Spurrier returned to the SEC and took over the reigns of the South Carolina Gamecocks. He would win one SEC title and another two SEC Coach of the Year Awards. His overall Coaching record is 228-89-2.
Head Coach, Danny Ford. Ford took over as the Head Coach of the Clemson Tigers in 1978 and in 1981 he took the University to a consensus National Championship. He would be named the ACC Coach and Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year in ’81 and is a five time ACC Champion. He would also coach at Arkansas. Ford had a coaching record of 122-59-5 and a 6-3 Bowl record.
Head Coach, Larry Kehres. A former Quarterback at Mount Union, Larry Kehres would return as an Assistant Coach in 1974 and would be named their Head Coach in 1986, a position he would hold until 2012. He would win 11 Division III Championships for Mount Union.
Quarterback, Peyton Manning. Manning would become the #1 Draft Pick in 1998 after becoming a superstar at the University of Tennessee. Manning would be named an All-American in 1997 and won the Davey O’Brien Award, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Maxwell Award and was named the SEC Player of the Year. Manning threw for 11,201 Yards with 89 Touchdowns.
Quarterback, Matt Leinart. Out of USC, Matt Leinart won a multitude of awards including the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year (twice), the Manning Award, the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and of course the Heisman Trophy in 2004. He would throw for 10,693 Passing Yards with 99 Touchdown Passes. Most importantly, he took the Trojans to a National Championship in 2004.
Marshall Faulk, Running Back. Faulk is already a Pro Football Hall of Famer and a Super Bowl Champion. At San Diego State, the Running Back would finish 2nd and 4th in Heisman Trophy Voting (’92 and ’93 respectively) and rushed for 4,589 Yards with 57 Touchdowns as an Aztec. He would win the NCAA Rushing Title in 1992 and is a two time Consensus All-American.
Adrian Paterson, Running Back. At Georgia Southern, Peterson set the Rushing Record in Division IAA with 6.559 Yards. He would also win the Walter Payton Award in 1999.
Kirk Gibson, Wide Receiver. Gibson would become far more known for his prowess in Baseball, winning two World Series Championships, but at Michigan State he caught 112 passes for 2,347 Yards and 24 Touchdowns. He would have the most Receiving Yards in the Big 10 twice.
Offensive Tackle, Bob McKay. McKay was a Consensus All-American at the University of Texas and helped the Longhorns win the National Championship in 1969.
Bob Crable, Linebacker. Crable was a two time Consensus All-American at Notre Dame who had 521 career Tackles.
Brian Urlacher, Linebacker. Urlacher was a star player at the University of New Mexico where he was named a Consensus All-American and the MWC Player of the Year in 1999. He would have 442 Tackles in his collegiate career and would also be used as a Kick Returner and occasional Wide Receiver.
Dat Nguyen, Linebacker. Playing at Texas A&M, Dat Nguyen changed the perception of the Asian-American Football Player. With the Aggies, he led his school in Tackles four straight years and in 1998 was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, won the Chuck Bednarik Award, The Vince Lombardi Award and was a Consensus All-American.
Mike Ruth, Defensive Tackle. Ruth would win the Outland Trophy and Consensus All-American Honors in 1985. He played for Boston College.

Diamond Dallas Page to enter the WWE HOF
Jan 06, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It has been leaked and reported by multiple sources that Diamond Dallas Page will be entering the WWE Hall of Fame this Wrestlemania weekend.
Page is (or soon to be was) ranked #47 on our Notinhalloffame.com WWE list.
The first time that DDP entered the wrestling scene was as a manager in the American Wrestling Association in 1988. He would manage the tag team of Bad Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka) to the AWA World Tag Team Champions, and while this was a promotion that was deep into its decline, it was still national exposure.
When the AWA folded, Page returned to Florida where he was a club manager and did sporadic work for Florida based independent promotions. Most notably his love of professional wrestling was evident as he drove his pink Cadillac to Toronto so that he could appear as the chauffeur for Rhythm & Blues at Wrestlemania VI.
Page would be signed by World Championship Wrestling in 1991 and would manage the Fabulous Freebirds and the Diamond Studd (Scott Hall), however he noticed that he was as large if not larger than the people he managed. In his late 30’s, DDP decided to train to become a professional wrestler. His peers scoffed at him. Fans ignored him. However a funny thing started to happen. He was getting to be pretty good.
By 1995 Dallas was a regular performer on Pay Per View and would win his first championship, the WCW Television Title. He would feud with Johnny B. Badd over the title eventually losing the belt to him and was forced to leave WCW when he lost a loser leaves town match to the Booty Man.
Page would be back shortly after and would win the “Lord of the Ring” at Slamboree 1996, however it was that winter when his star really began to shine. He was asked to join the New World Order by his friends, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, which he declined, setting him on track to become one of the top faces in the company.
1997 would see Page ascend to the main event where he feuded with Randy Savage and would later with the United States Title. He would also have a memorable and high drawing main event where he tagged with basketball star, Karl Malone against Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman. The only thing that Dallas Page hadn’t done yet was win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
At War Games 1998, Page would win the match to earn a title shot against Bill Goldberg at Halloween Havoc. DDP didn’t win, but he took Goldberg to what was believed to be his best match at the time. The following year, Page would win the title in a four corners match.
World Championship Wrestling would suffer a serious decline through horrible booking decisions, but Diamond Dallas Page remained a highlight of the company to the bitter end. He would win the Word Title twice more and the Tag Team Titles on multiple occasions prior to the organization being sold to the WWE.
Page had a lofty contract that he could have sat on and made money without wrestling. That wasn’t the type of guy that he accepted a buyout of his AOL contract. He would make his debut as the “stalker” of the Undertaker’s wife, Sara, and while Page was used poorly in the WWE, he did win a title (European) and competed at Wrestlemania.
He was forced to retire due to injury, and while he made sporadic appearances elsewhere, arguably his biggest contribution in wrestling and in lifestyle in general; DDP Yoga.
Dallas began yoga in the 90’s and found that it helped him so much that he developed a program called “Yoga for Regular Guys”. This would evolve into DDP Yoga, which has not just become a go to for professional wrestlers but has exploded into a huge workout phenomenon.
Going back to wrestling, this was the man who put a program that saved the life of WWE Hall of Famers, Jake “The Snake Roberts and Scott Hall. Had it not been for the efforts of Page, it is certain that Hall and Roberts would not have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and very possible that those two would not be alive today.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Dallas Page last year and in our conversation with him, we know that he was happier when Scott Hall and Jake Roberts were chosen then when he was (or in that case, would have been) selected.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Diamond Dallas Page for this honor and we can not wait to see who will join him in the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame Class.
