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.

Is anyone really surprised that there is more drama with Deep Purple and their induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Founding member and former guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore announced on his Facebook page that he will not be in attendance when the band is officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April.

"Ritchie was honored by the offer of induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…He was discussing the possibility of attending, until we received correspondence from the President of the Rock Hall of Fame, who said that Bruce Payne, management for the current Deep Purple Touring Band, had said 'No"……….!!!!!' Therefore Ritchie will not be attending the ceremony. He sincerely thanks all the fans that voted for him for their support."

This is not exactly a shock as Blackmore has not played with the band since his departure in 1993.  When asked if Blackmore would be joining them drummer Ian Paice was non-committal and stated that there were some in the band who would probably not want to play with Blackmore at the Hall of Fame ceremony.  As it turned out, Paice was right.

The current line-up of Deep Purple will be performing at the induction ceremony.

Will the drama of Deep Purple and the Rock and Roll of Fame ceremony end with this?

Doubtful!



It was announced today that former eighteen year veteran, Tony Phillips, passed away at the age of 56. 

Phillips is best known for his time with the Oakland Athletics where in 1989, he made the final out in the franchise’s World Series win.  While he is best known as an Athletic, he would actually have better individual seasons with the Detroit Tigers, where in 1992 he led the AL in Runs Scored, and the following season he had the most Walks.

He would also spend time with the Chicago White Sox, Anaheim Angels, New York Mets and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Phillips retired in 1999 and he amassed 2,023 Hits, 160 Home Runs, a Slash Line of .266/.374/.389 and a bWAR of 50.8. 

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