Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sports team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.

As such it is noteworthy to us that over the weekend the San Diego Chargers officially retired the number of former Running Back, LaDainian Tomlinson and entered him in their franchises’ Hall of Fame.

Tomlinson played for San Diego from 2001 to 2009 and made five Pro Bowls and three First Team All Pros.  Three times he would lead the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns and in 2006 was named the League MVP. 

The former Running Back becomes the fourth player to have his number retired, joining Dan Fouts, Lance Alworth and Junior Seau. 

Tomlinson will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 and is considered by many to enter Canton.

We would like to congratulate LaDainian Tomlinson on this latest accolade and there is reason to think there are more coming.

Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and five time Stanley Cup Champion, Bert Olmstead, passed away today at the age of 89.

Olmstead officially made the National Hockey League in 1949 as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks but it was a trade to the Montreal Canadians where the left winger would really blossom.  In the 1950’s, Olmstead would help the Habs win four Cups and would lead the NHL in Assists twice.  He would also be named a Second Team All Star two times.

He would be selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Intra-League Draft in 1958 and would win his fifth Cup in blue and white.  Four years later, Olmstead would again be left unprotected in the Intra-League Draft and would retire rather than report to the New York Rangers.

Olmstead would retire with 602 career points over 848 NHL games.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Bert Olmstead at this time.
