Don’t you love it when the people talk and Halls of Fame listen?

Roughly a week ago, the Professional Football Hall of Fame stated that Sydney Seau, the daughter of Junior Seau, the late Linebacker who was chosen for Canton on his first year of eligibility, would not be speaking when inducting her dad.  The Hall had cited a previous (and little known) rule that was instituted in 2010 where a deceased player would not have a substitute speaker accept on their behalf. 

As all of you know, the perceived belief from fans and media alike was that the Hall was concerned (and possibly pressured by the NFL) that due to Seau’s death by suicide brought on from CTE conditions that Sydney Seau would bring up the cause of his death.  It should be noted that Sydney had claimed on multiple occasions that she would not do not do so.  Clearly the backlash brought unintended attention to the issue of head trauma in football, which was what they were trying to avoid all along.

It is reported now, that Sydney will be allowed to accept the enshrinement on her father’s behalf, a decision that should have made all along.



While we here at Notinhalloffame.com hate how they arrived in this decision, we are glad that the Pro Football Hall of Fame made the right call.



The Montreal Canadians have announced that they will be closing their franchise’s Hall of Fame as of August 30 of this year.

The home of the Habs, The Bell Center, is closing that portion of the facility to concentrate on renovations that “will enhance the fan experience” at the facility.  With the impending close of the Hall, the institution has announced that fans can visit it at no cost until the end of the month.

The Habs will be redeploying the memorabilia around the Bell Center or will be given back to those who originally provided the items to begin with. 

While it was not announced, we are certain that an organization with the tradition and the class of the Montreal Canadians will have a dedicated facility in the future that will again celebrate the team’s past.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have another major update that we are excited to present to all of you.

Recently, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced that Nicklas Lidstrom, Sergei Fedorov, Chris Pronger and Phil Housley would be the Class of 2015.  Once a Hall of Fame Class is announced, our next task is obvious….work on the next list!

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have created the new list and it is a little different than it has been in years past.  What we mean by that is that for the first time ever we do not have any new entry that placed in our top ten.  For that matter, we do not have any new entry that made the top twenty!

Let’s take a look at the new Notinhalloffame.com top ten and the new entries, shall we?

For the first time ever, former NHL Hart Trophy winner, Eric Lindros ascends to the top of the list.  Lindros rocketed from the #7 spot and in our opinion is in the best spot of his career to potentially make the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Don Cherry, the enigmatic coach of “Coach’s Corner” remains at number 2.  Cherry, a former Jack Adams Trophy winner might be the most known personality on the hockey list. 

Coming in at #3 is Sergei Makarov, a Soviet born player who was in the NHL at the tail end of his career.  Makarov moved up three spots from last year.

At #4 is Paul Kariya, a former Anaheim Duck who moved up from number six.  Kariya is a former seven time NHL All Star. 

The number #5 spot belongs to Mark Recchi who also moved up three spots.  

Number #6 on the Notinhalloffame.com countdown belongs to Thereon Fleury who also moved up a few spots.  

The #7 spot belongs to Alexander Mogilny, who moved up from the #11 spot. 

The number #8 spot on this years’ countdown belongs to Dave Andreychuck, who holds the record for the most power play goals in the game.  

The #9 slot belongs to Bernie Nicholls, who is having his best offensive numbers for the list and the highest ranking ever of his career.

Rounding out the top ten of the 2016 list is Jeremy Roenick who moved to the elite top ten.



For the first time since we began our site, this will be the first time where there will be no new eligible entry for the top ten, in fact none of the new eligible players cracked the top twenty-five.

The highest debut this year belongs to Alex Kovalev, who makes his Notinhalloffame.com hockey debut at #33.  The Russian is a former Second Team All Star.

Kovalev is joined by Roman Hamrlik (#85) and Miroslav Satan (#91) also make their first appearance on the list.

There is a new debut on our list, but not of a first year eligible player as the late defenceman, Carol Vadnais, takes the #100 spot.

With no surefire first year inductees eligible for the Hall, could this propel the Hockey Hall of Fame to induct men like Lindros, who many feel have been passed over for a few years.

If it is going to happen, 2016 seems like a wide open window to us!

So with this major update set up here at Notinhalloffame.com, you know what we want you to do right?

We encourage all of you to take a look and cast your votes and make your voices be heard.  If you have not voted on anything previously, we ask you to tell us your thoughts!

     











The phrase “part of my childhood died today” is thrown around so much I often wonder if the people who utter those words really mean it.  I can tell you now at this moment as I sit in an airport waiting to board a flight back home that is exactly how I feel upon learning that “Rowdy” Roddy Piper died of natural causes at the age of 61.

I won’t go into a detailed biography on his career.  If you were a wrestling fan in the 1980’s like I was you know exactly who the “Hot Rod” was.  While so many people gravitated towards Hulk Hogan and “Hulkamania” it was Piper who I wanted to be as a kid.  I tried to talk like him, act like him and even had a friend of mine pretend to be my bodyguard, “Ace”.  I remember making a compilation VHS tape (Remember those) of his best matches, interviews and every Piper’s Pit I could get my hands on. 

Decades later, I would listen to his podcasts and while I never met him, in becoming friends with Chavo Guerrero Sr., a man who befriended a young Piper in Los Angeles in the late 1970’s I had the pleasure of hearing stories about Piper, all of which made me love Piper even more. 

I apologize to all of you for as much as I want to give you a heartfelt tribute to Roddy Piper, for the first time in years I find myself at a real loss for words. 

Needless to say, all of us at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the friends and family of Roddy and as for me, I am going to try to catch a classic Piper’s Pit on YouTube before I fly across country.  Somehow, I know that it will put a smile on my face and remind me of how much he entertained me not only as a kid but also as a grown man.
