“I don’t want to be a belong to any club that will accept me as a member.”

Ok, that Groucho Marx quote isn’t exactly accurate, but Steve Miller still isn’t happy about being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As we discussed previously, Miller was quite vocal about his distaste for the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, of which he was finally inducted after a long wait.  Miller infamously railed on the Hall at the post ceremony press conference but on the Howard Stern Show, he had a lot more to say:

“It's gonna get better. I'm gonna get these guys. They're gonna be sorry that they treated all these people this way…I'm planning to keep it in the news. I'm planning to investigate them. I've already got all of their public documents. I want to see where they're spending the money. I wanna see who's being paid. I wanna check it all out ... The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's actually going to go to Cleveland. The Museum's actually gonna mean something. The funding they raise is actually gonna be used for music education before I'm done."

Miller trashed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee, calling them “fucked-up” and “inbred”.

Is this the rambling of a cranky old man or is Miller on to something with the Rock and Roll Hall?

Either way, it will always be interesting in Cleveland.

It is a long process isn’t it?

We here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly but surely working our way to give you the Top 50 of every major North American Franchise, and we are ready to present to you another one; this time the NFL’s Detroit Lions.

While many of you view the Lions as this sad sack team over the past few decades, this is a team that does have multiple NFL Championship appearances.

The complete list of our Top 50 Detroit Lions can be found here, but for those who want a preview of the top five, here you are!



1. Barry Sanders

2. Joe Schmidt

3. Bobby Layne

4. Lem Barney

5. Doak Walker



Take a look, give us your opinion and as always we thank you!

Up next, we will return to Motown with the Detroit Tigers. 

We owe all of you a sincere apology

As much as we have been working hard to update our lists as quickly as possible, we recognize that our NASCAR list has slid and is about a year behind.

Make that two.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame has announced the 2017 Hall of Fame Class and they are as follows:


Richard Childress, a former owner who had Dale Earnhardt on his roster.

Mark Martin, who won 40 races on the Sprint Cup Circuit.

Raymond Parks, a former owner who won the first Modified Title in 1948.

Benny Parsons, the 1973 Sprint Cup Series Champion who has 21 Sprint Cup wins including the 1975 Daytona 500.

Rick Hendrick, an owner who has 11 Sprint Cup Championship and 15 Drivers’ Championships in total.


Following our apology, we here at Notinhalloffame.com promise all of you that we will have our NASCAR list updated by summer.



Every year, we here at Notinhalloffame.com champion former Montreal Expos Outfielder, Tim Raines, as a bona fide Baseball Hall of Famer.

This past week, Raines was in Chicago to celebrate the 25th anniversary of U.S. Cellular Field and was the most optimistic he has ever been for the Baseball Hall of Fame despite entering his tenth and final year of eligibility. 

Raines had the following to say:

"This is probably the first year out of the nine years that I've been on the ballot that I really, really feel like I have a chance…I think about it a lot more than I ever have in the past.

If I don't (get in), it's not the end of the world…I would love for it to happen.  But coming now to this point, being my last year on the ballot and being so close, it's getting a little nerve-wracking. I think those nerves are starting to set in. I just can't wait until it's over now."

Raines is coming off a 2016 vote of 69.8 percent, which is the farthest by far that he has received.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have had Raines ranked in the top twelve since our website’s inception and are hopeful that the former leadoff sensation will enter Cooperstown next year. 

Will he get in?

Tim Raines and his Montreal Expos teammates hopes so. 

So do we!
