Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
This is one of the saddest days for us at Notinhalloffame.com and for me specifically, Kirk Buchner, the owner of this site.

My friend, Chavo Guerrero Sr., passed away after a battle with liver cancer.  He was 68 years old.

I am not going to speak now about his decorated career, which while extensive, is not the way I will remember him.  To me, Chavo was a man whose heart exceeded his muscles, whose passion for wrestling was only matched by his pride of being a member of the Guerrero family.  He was proud, always told you what was on his mind and possibly the most genuine man I ever met. 

A few years ago, I interviewed him for our site and shortly after he asked me to work on his autobiography, which other than the epilogue we have finished.  Chavo helped us out with a YouTube video, counting down those who should be considered for the WWE Hall of Fame, and his expertise and charismatic way in which he discussed people who were his former co-workers was as entertaining as he was in the ring.

My heart goes out to the Guerrero family and his many fans. 

Amigo, you will be missed.    
Michael Vick entered the National Football League with a lot of fanfare as the number #1 pick in the 2001 Draft.  He exited with a comment to ESPN columnist, Josina Anderson, where he stated, “I’m willing to say yeah, I’m officially retired.”

While this is not exactly the glorious departure that people envisioned in 2001, this is a still a career worth taking a look at and maybe even asking the Hall of Fame question. 

Drafted out of Virginia Tech, Vick would become the Falcon’s permanent starter in his sophomore year.  The Quarterback would dazzle the fans of the NFL with arm and his legs and would be named to his first Pro Bowl.  Vick would become a bona fide star in the National Football League and one of the most recognized players in football.

The Falcons were a good team, but not one that was built to go deep into the playoffs.  That being said, the dual threat of Michael Vick terrorized opposing Defensive Coordinators and made planning against Atlanta a very interesting proposition.  He would be with Atlanta for four more seasons until 2006 and would go to two more Pro Bowls.  Notably, in ’06, he would become the first Quarterback to rush for over 1,000 Yards. 

While 2006 would be a great year, the following two would not be as he would be sentenced for promoting a dog fighting ring that would land him in jail.  He would be suspended from the NFL and missed two years form the game and it was uncertain whether he could ever be a football player at an elite level, let alone the star that he was.

As he was released by the Falcons, Vick was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, predominantly because of the mentorship of Tony Dungy.  Serving as the backup to Donovan McNabb, Vick paid his penance and was named by his teammates as the nominee for the Ed Block Courage Award.  The following season, Vick took over as Philadelphia’s starting QB and was named to his fourth Pro Bowl and the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

That would be Vick’s last great season, though he would remain in the NFL with the Eagles for three more seasons and would play with the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers before playing his last game in 2015.

With this now acknowledged retirement, Michael Vick will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021, an institution that Vick feels he belongs in based on how “he changed the game”.



While he did usher in an era of more mobile Quarterbacks, a place in Canton might be hard to envision.



Regardless, we know we aren’t the only ones who were entertained by watching him play and we wish him the best in the next stage of his life.
Normally, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is relatively easy to forecast as they don’t normally have surprises, but with this year’s class, we are a little befuddles with some of this year’s selections, or rather this year’s snubs.

Let’s start with who got in.
Regular visitors to our website know that we are SLOWLY working on our Top 50 players of each major team.  The end game will eventually showcase how each team honors their former players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is news to us that the St. Louis Blues retired the number of Bob Plager last night. 

A New York Ranger for the first three years of his career, Plager was traded to the expansion Blues, and was a member of the original team.  Plager would have an opportunity in St. Louis to be a starter and would be a dependable force on the blueline corps. 

Plager was not an offensive star, but he did score 141 Points over 615 Games with the Blues; a stint that lasted 11 seasons.  He would also play 74 Games for St. Louis in the NHL Playoffs. 

The #5 of Bob Plager will join the #2 of Al Macinnis, #3 of Bob Gassoff, #8 of Barclay Plager, #11 of Brian Sutter, #16 of Brett Hull and #24 of Bernie Federko.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Bob Plager at this time.
