We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential.  In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher.  In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
Isn’t it always news when Barry Bonds talks about the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Bonds was (once again) asked about the Hall of Fame as he is in back in the game as a coach for the Miami Marlins:

“God knows I am a Hall of Famer…I know that I'm a Hall of Fame player.  I don't really need to get into that.  I'll leave that to you guys to make that determination. That's not my fraternity.

Another major retirement took place in the NFL as Pittsburgh Steelers Tight End called it a career yesterday.

Coming out of the University of Virginia, the Steelers drafted Miller with their first pick (30th Overall) in the 2005 Draft.  Miller paid immediate dividends catching 39 passes and was named the Steelers Rookie of the Year.  That year, Miller earned the ultimate prize, as Pittsburgh would go on to win Super Bowl XL.

Miller would continue with Pittsburgh for the duration of his career and three years later would win another Super Bowl ring, though in that game he would have more of an active role with 5 catches in the big dance.  The Tight End would make two Pro Bowls over his career (2009 & 2012) and would named the team MVP in 2012. 

With this retirement, Miller concludes his career with 592 Receptions for 6,569 Yards and 45 Touchdowns and is Hall of Fame eligible in 2021, though he probably will struggle to make the Semi-Finals.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Heath Miller for the memories and we wish him the best in his post-playing career.

Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com might have noticed that we have been working on the top fifty players of each North American franchise.  We are continuing this with the look at our second NFL franchise, the Buffalo Bills.

The Buffalo Bills are the only team in NFL history to make the Super Bowl four times.  Granted, the team from Western New York lost on all four occasions but over time the accomplishments involved to get there are celebrated more and more.

At present, this list reflects accomplishments up to the end of the 2015 season.

The list is based on traditional metrics advanced metrics, length of service, popularity, and post season performance.

The complete list can be found here, but for those who are curious immediately as to who the top five are, we’ll grant that immediately:



1. Bruce Smith

2. Thurman Thomas

3. Jim Kelly

4. Andre Reed

5. O.J. Simpson


Which team are we working on next?

We will turn our attention to the diamond and the Washington Nationals.
