Kurri, Francis and McKenzie are named to the HHOF Selection Committee
Dec 01, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
For our purposes, this is actually big news.
To enter the Hockey Hall of Fame you have to receive 14 votes out of 18 from the Hockey Hall of Fame Committee, so when three of them are replaced, it stands to reason that we here at Notinhalloffame.com are interested in knowing who it is.
Hall of Fame inductees, Jari Kurri and Ron Francis have been chosen to be a part of the selection committee. Kurri is currently the General Manager of Jokerit, a Finnish club in the KHL and Francis is the Vice President and the General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes.
The third man selection is TSN hockey insider, Bob McKenzie, a well known fixture on NHL broadcasts for the Canadian sports flagship network.
The trip replaces Lanny McDonald, another Hall of Famer, who has stepped down to take over as the Chairman of the Board for the Hall. The other two replaced are American broadcaster, Mike Emrick and Hall of Fame inductee, Peter Stastny, both of which served their three year terms on the committee.
It is worth noting that TSN’s Michael Farber, Toronto Globe and Mail columnist, Eric Duhatschek and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Torrey had their three year terms renewed and will continue on the committee.
The other 12 members of the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee are:
John Davidson, a former goalie and the current President of Hockey Operations for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Scotty Bowman, a 14 time Stanley Cup winner as a coach or executive.
David Branch, the Commissioner of the OHL.
Brian Burke, the President of Hockey Operations for the Calgary Flames.
Colin Campbell, the Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations for the National Hockey League.
Marc de Foy, a columnist for Le Journal de Montreal.
Mike Gartner, a Hockey Hall of Famer.
Anders Hedberg, a former NHL player and Swedish star and executive.
Igor Larionov, a Hockey Hall of Famer and former Soviet star.
David Polie, the President of Business Operations and General Mnager of the Nashville Predators.
Luc Robitaille, a Hockey Hall of Famer and the President of Business Operations with the Los Angeles Kings.
With no clear cut Hall of Fame inductees for next year, this could be the opportunity for players like Eric Lindros, Paul Kariya, Dave Andreychuk and Sergei Makarov to get the call after years of waiting on the ballot.
These eighteen men will decide the next class in June of next year, and clearly it will be the most interesting one yet!

Kobe Bryant will retire at the end of this season.
Nov 29, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
While this is not exactly a surprise, a true end of an era will be happening. 37 year old Los Angeles Laker, Shooting Guard, Kobe Bryant has announced on the Player’s Tribune website that this will be his final season in the National Basketball Association.
Citing that his body “knows it’s time to say goodbye”, Bryant is entering the end of a two year contract, and it was not necessarily a given that the Lakers would like to resign him, though with the recent news, the official farewell tour can begin.
Bryant has nothing left to prove as he has won the MVP once, the NBA Championship five times, was named an All Star seventeen times, two Olympic Gold medals and at third overall in scoring, Bryant is having his worst statistical season and has obviously lost a step or two. “The Black Mamba” has been plagued with injuries over the last few seasons and the mileage over the past twenty years, including the NBA Playoffs and International participation, the toll of the game has finally caught up.
Kobe will go down as a locked in first ballot Hall of Fame entry and will enter the Hall in 2022, barring any decision to go back on this decision.
Let’s enjoy the final ride for Kobe, and let’s hope it is a good one!

The Canadian Football HOF announces its latest class
Nov 29, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Prior to the 103rd Grey Cup on Sunday, The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has announced the CFL Class of 2016.
Let’s look at the four players and the one builder who will bring the Canadian Football Hall of Fame class up to 283 members.
Derrell “Mookie” Mitchell: Wide Receiver 1997-2007
Mitchell came out of Texas Tech and would be a three time CFL All Star and would catch 160 passes for 2,000 Yards in 2008. He would win the Grey Cup twice.
Rodney Harding: Defensive Tackle 1985-96
A twelve year veteran out of Oklahoma State, Harding was a two time CFL All Star and one time Grey Cup Champion.
James West: Linebacker 1982-93
Out of Texas Southern, James West was a two time CFL All Star.
Doug Brown: Defensive Tackle 2001-2011
Canadian born Doug Brown was a seven time All Star who spent his entire career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was a one time recipient of the Most Outstanding Canadian Award.
Don McDonald, a longtime administrator in minor football in Saskatchewan, will join these four players.
While we are not looking to add a Canadian Football section to Notinhalloffame.com, this has proven to be a very classy organization and we would like to congratulate this year’s new class.

Brett Favre's number #4 retired tonight.
Nov 26, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Thanksgiving is a time of reuniting the family. That is what is happening in Green Bay, as Brett Favre is returning tonight but not in a Vikings jersey, but there to have his number four retired by the franchise where he became a star.
This is no small honor as while the Packers have the largest Hall of Fame in all of professional sports, this will only be the 6th number retired by the team. Favre will join Tony Canadeo (#3), Don Hutson (#14), Bart Starr (#15), Ray Nitschke (#66) and Reggie White (#92). Bart Starr is scheduled to appear at tonight’s festivities.
It was not that long ago that a night like this seemed impossible as Favre left the team acrimoniously and the last time he appeared at Lambeau Field it was in Vikings purple and he was booed on every play. A lot of healing has taken place on both sides, and in fact, Favre was awarded to the key to the city this afternoon, by the mayor of Green Bay.
Favre would throw 61,655 Yards and 442 TDs for the Packers and would lead them to victory in Super Bowl XXXI and would also win three MVPs. Favre, who was already inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame this past summer, is expected to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year. He has already made the semi-finalist list and is ranked #1 on our Notinhalloffame.com list.
We would like to congratulate Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers as this is an accolade that was meant to be.
