D'Brickashaw Ferguson Retires
Apr 09, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Sudden retirements are all the rage in the National Football League isn’t it?
New York Jets Left Tackle, D’Brickashaw Ferguson has announced that the age of 32 he has played his last game in the National Football League. While there have been players who have retired in the last six months who were younger than Ferguson, this was considered a surprise as he has been exceptionally durable over his career (he never missed a game) and it is not believed that he has ever had any major injury.
Let’s go one step further. Since he debuted in the NFL, D’Brickashaw Ferguson has only missed one snap and it took a trick play to do it.
Sources have stated that Ferguson’s decision was not so much due to health but more from his belief that he was not the player he once was.
Drafted 4th Overall in 2006 out of the University of Virginia, Ferguson played only professionally with the Jets. He was a three time Pro Bowl Selection (2009, 2010 & 2011). He is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022, though he is unlikely to get any attention for Canton.
While that may be true, Ferguson had a great career and we wish him the best in his post playing career.

RIP: Black Jack Mulligan
Apr 09, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
One of the greatest and most respected professional wrestlers passed away this week as Black Jack Mulligan passed away at the age of 73.
Born Robert Windham, Mulligan was a former star at UTEP and had a cup of coffee in the NFL. Encouraged by Wahoo McDaniel to try his hand at professional wrestling, Mulligan was meant for the business. A native Texan, Mulligan played up that persona and was christened Black Jack Mulligan when he entered the then named World Wide Wrestling Federation.
As Black Jack Mulligan, he would done a black hat, a black glove and would use the Iron Claw as his finisher. He would feud with Pedro Morales and Bruno Sammartino but his greatest success in New York would be in a tag team with Black Jack Lanza and he would win the Tag Team Title there. The duo would also win regional championships across the United States in the 1970’s.
Mulligan would have success across the States again as a single, highlighted by his four United States Championships in the Mid Atlantic Territory. Mulligan would return to the WWF in the early 1980’s and would wrestle there as late as 1987, where he would wrestle in a mask as the “Big Machine” teaming with Andre the Giant and Bill Eadie who were the “Giant Machine” and the “Super Machine” respectively.
The legacy of Black Jack continues to this day. His son was Barry Windham and his daughter married Mike Rotunda, the father of WWE Superstars, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to offer our condolences to the friends and family of Black Jack Mulligan.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Evening
Apr 09, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will always be controversial. Hell, this was the impetus for creating Notinhalloffame.com! While that may all be true, this was the evening where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame officially inducted their latest class and whether you agree with the inductees or not, it is always a signature event and a big night for us.
While we felt that Deep Purple were the unequivocal headliners, they were actually the first inductees. Inducted by Metallica drummer, Lars Ulrich, Deep Purple played a three song set of Hush, Highway Star and of course, Smoke on the Water. While it was a great performance, it could not help but feel it was a little hollow without Ritchie Blackmore present.
Steve Miller was inducted next and performed Fly Like an Eagle and Rock N Me and during his induction mentioned how the song, “The Joker” saved his career.
Kendrick Lamar then came on stage to induct N.W.A., and asked for permission to curse during his speech. Referencing Eazy E. as the founder of “Reality Rap”, the four surviving members of N.W.A. took to the stage with Ice Cube proclaiming that they were Rock and Roll and how it was a “spirit”. That might be the most poignant moment of the night. Sadly, they did not perform, but they did deliver the best induction speech of the evening.
Chicago were up next and though they were without Peter Cetera, they delighted the crowd in hand with a stirring rendition of Saturday in the Park. It is worth noting that this was the group who the fans voted for the most on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame poll.
Cheap Trick was the final inductee, and while they are not necessarily the most important inductees, but it was their live performances overseas that would eventually make them stars in the United States. A Cheap Trick set to close the show? Why not!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show will be shown on HBO on April 30 and we have already updated our Notinhalloffame.com list to reflect those who are eligible next year.

Not in Hall of Fame News
Lock it in.
As is tradition, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced this year’s class hours before the NCAA Championship Game.
As previously reported, Yao Ming is in and there is no surprise that he will joined by two major former stars.
Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson, who hold the numbers one and two spots respectively on our Notinhalloffame.com Basketball List got in on their first try.
Shaq is a former four time NBA Champion, a former MVP, two time scoring champion and a fifteen time All Star. O’Neal is without question the most dominant center of his day and one of the top Centers ever.
Iverson, who while he was not a former NBA Champion is also a former NBA MVP and won four scoring titles and went to 11 All Star Games. In terms of excitement on the court, Iverson had few peers.
While O’Neal, Iverson and Ming are easily the top draws there are still big names who have been selected for this year.
Current Michigan State Head Coach, Tom Izzo enters Springfield and is a former NCAA Champion Coach. His current record is 524 and 205.
This years female inductee is Sheryl Swoopes, a four time WNBA Champion and three time WNBA MVP.
The remaining inductees this year are former three time ABA All Star, and two time NBA All Star, Zelmo Beaty, Chicago Bulls owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, official, Darrell Garretson, African-American Pioneer, Cumberland Posey and the late African-American Coach, John McLendon.
We will be working on our new Basketball list and it should be unveiled next month.
We would like to congratulate this year’s class and as always we love this time of the year!
