Sometimes news gets by us.  Thankfully, we were reminded by one of our bloggers, D.K., that a major figure in Pro Football Folklore passed away, and is worth a few words from us.

Last week,
Dick Stanfel, a man who is ranked at #30 by us on our Notinhalloffame.com Football list passed away at the age of 87.  Stanfel was a two time NFL Champion (1952 & 1953) with the Detroit Lions and was a member of the 1950’s All-Decade Team.  The Offensive Guard would also be chosen for five Pro Bowls.

Following his playing career, Stanfel would enjoy a long tenure as an Offensive Line Coach, most notably a decade with the Chicago Bears, where he was a coach on the 1985 Bears Super Bowl winning team. 

Stanfel would twice be named as a Senior Nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but would not be selected. 

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

Lost amidst the hoopla of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s announcement of their latest class, the Philadelphia Flyers have announced who the next members of their Hall of Fame will be. 

Jim Watson, a member of the Philadelphia Flyers back-to-back Stanley Cup Championship teams from the 1970’s was chosen.  There are many Flyer fans that have called for this induction for years, and the five time All Star and ten year NHL veteran (all with Philadelphia) finished his career with 186 Points and a +295.

The Defenceman is joined by Centre, Rod Brind’Amour who plied his trade In Philadelphia for nine seasons from 1991 to 1999 and would score 601 Points for the team.  Brind’Amour was known for his work ethic and gritty play and his lone All Star Game appearance would take place in 1992, while playing for the Flyers. 

Brind’Amour’s Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on their home game against the Carolina Hurricanes on November 23, the team where he won his lone Stanley Cup.  As for Watson, that ceremony will transpire on the home game in February against the Calgary Flames.

The Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame first began in 1988. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate both Jim Watson and Rod Brind’Amour for entering the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame.





Honestly, I am not sure that this is even news.  With the continued downward spiral of TNA wrestling it can be openly questioned that the fourth announced entrant into their Hall of Fame could be their last.  If that is the case, at least they will go down with the man who should have been the first inductee, Jeff Jarrett in their Hall of Fame.

Jarrett, a multi time former WCW World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion left the WWE when he held them up (although this has been disputed by Jarrett himself) for a quarter of a million dollars as his contract expired the day of a pay per view, in which he was defending his IC Title.  Once WCW went under, it was evident to everyone that the WWE would have no interest in bringing him back. 

Rather than complain, Jarrett would form his own promotion, TNA, which would be affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance. 

Jarrett would become the face of the promotion, but more importantly he would create a place for other wrestlers to work, especially necessary in a down time for wrestling.  Jarrett would sell his controlling interest to Panda Energy but a dispute a decade later would see him leave the company he formed.  He recently returned to TNA television but now as the owner of Global Force Wrestling.  TNA President Dixie Carter announced in the ring that Jarrett would enter the Hall.

While we are happy for Jarrett, we openly wonder if this lackadaisical induction announcement and lack of interest from fans has rendered this accolade pointless.  While Jarrett’s inclusion to the TNA Hall does give it a certain legitimacy, the wrestling promotion’s fall from even being a number two in the United States takes away the lustre from what was already a mishandled announcement. 

Will TNA survive to add someone else to Sting, Kurt Angle, The Dudley Boys and now Jeff Jarrett? 

They might have to do it fast!







We imagine the city of Detroit is rejoicing today with the announcement of the latest class of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Nicklas Lidstrom will be entering the Hockey Hall on his first try, which should be a surprise to nobody.  The Swedish born Defenceman, who was ranked #1 by us on Notinhalloffame.com helmed the Red Wings to four Stanley Cup wins and earned the Norris Trophy seven times. 

Our number #3 selection, Chris Pronger will also be inducted.  Pronger, who has not officially retired but has not played in the NHL for three years due to post-concussion syndrome is also a former Norris Trophy winner and won the Hart Trophy in 2000.  Pronger also won the Stanley Cup in 2007 as a member of the Anaheim Ducks.

Sergei Fedorov, a teammate of Lidstrom on three Stanley Cups will be enshrined in Toronto too.  The flashy forward is a former Hart Trophy winner (2004) and two time Frank J. Selke winner.  The Soviet born player was ranked at #4 by us.

A mild surprise is the induction of American born Defenceman, Phil Housley, who holds the record for the most points for a blueliner born in the U.S.  Housley has been eligible since 2006 and was ranked #14 at Notinhalloffame.com

The remainder of this year’s class includes Bill Hay, a former President of Hockey Canada, American female player, Angela Ruggerio, and Peter Karmonos Jr., the owner of the Carolina Hurricanes

A perceived snub by many is that of Eric Lindros, whose HOF momentum has been growing in recent years.

Next month, we here at Notinhalloffame.com will unveil our new ranking for next year.
