Patriots set 2014 HOF Nominees
Apr 17, 2014
Published in Not in Hall of Fame News
As you know, we are going to be launching in the summer of this year a look (and ranking) of the major North American Sports and their post career accolades. This means retired numbers and respective Halls of Fame if applicable. As such, we thought it was pertinent to mention that the New England Patriots Hall of Fame have announced three Finalists for their 2014 Class.
The first is recent Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Bill Parcells. Parcells, returned to Head Coaching after a two year hiatus in 1993 and in his second season took the Patriots to their first playoff season in eight years. He was there for four seasons, the last of which, he had his team advance to the Super Bowl, though the Green Bay Packers defeated them.
The second is Ty Law, who was with the Patriots from 1995 to 2004 and was a three time Super Bowl Champion. Law earned four Pro Bowl and one First Team All Pro Selections as a member of the New England Patriots and led the NFL in Interceptions in 1998.
The third is Raymond Clayborn, a Cornerback who played for the Pats from 1977 to 1989. Clayborn had 36 Interceptions and was selected for three Pro Bowls.
The Patriots Hall of Fame first took place in 1991 and currently has their own facility. Their Hall of Fame is a representation of what other NFL teams and for that matter other North American Sports Teams should look at. Fans will determine the next inductee via their voting, which will take place between now and May 15.
Packers looking to retire Brett Favre's number 4
Apr 16, 2014
Published in Not in Hall of Fame News
In what we thought was an interesting comment, Green Bay Packers President, Mark Murphy mentioned to WHBL Radio that he wanted to retire former Quarterback, Brett Favre’s #4 last fall. According to Murphy, plans fell through when the High School team that Favre was coaching in Mississippi had a deep post season run, which kept him occupied.
Murphy also stated that he has a good relationship with the former “gunslinger” which is worth noting as his “will he or won’t he retire” caused turmoil for the Packers organization and his departure was not as clean as either side would have liked.
Brett Favre is eligible for the Football Hall of Fame in 2016, and many believe that he is likely to be a first ballot inductee. Murphy mentioned that he wanted to retire his number prior to that occurrence.
If Favre is the next player to have his number retired by the Green Bay Packers, he will be 6th player in Green Bay history to receive this honor. He would join Tony Caadeo (#3), Don Hutson (#14), Bart Starr (#15), Ray Nitschke (#66) and Reggie White (#92).
We look forward to seeing if the Green Bay Packers retire the number four this season an if so, we will certainly be paying attention!
Country Music HOF Expands
Apr 16, 2014
Published in Not in Hall of Fame News
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continues to be a source of controversy, but the second most important music related Hall of Fame in the United States continues along without any real issues. We are referring to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which supports a musical genre that continues to grow in popularity. The Country Music Hall is reflecting that success as this past Tuesday, its expansion has completed, and it is now double in size.
Located in Downtown Nashville, the facility’s growth predominantly reflects many of the Country acts, and the evolution to today’s sound. One such exhibit pairs current and past acts (ie: their mentors) and how their music evolved.
Taylor Swift is a large part of the renovated Hall of Fame. One of her old tour buses is on display, and there is an education center in her name, which was funded by her four million dollar donation.
In our eyes, the most exciting addition is an 800 seat theatre that can house concerts; which will now be a regular part of the Hall of Fame. We had never really considered doing a road trip to the Country Hall of Fame, though it has now moved up several notches in our eyes.
Yet another KISS/RRHOF Article
Apr 15, 2014
Published in Not in Hall of Fame News
Paul Stanley isn’t done trashing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just yet. The co-leader of KISS who was just inducted into the Cleveland based institution after a fifteen-year wait, took to Twitter to discuss his issues with the ceremony. In a Tweet to Rolling Stone, Stanley quipped:
“Our treatment at the RRHOF confirmed my worst suspicions. Wenner and the rest are spineless weasels”
He continued with a direct tweet to Jann Wenner, on how he felt like unwanted guests:
“Jann Wenner & his RRHOF made sure to treat us as uninvited guests. No Passes. No schedule and on. We were great and he remains a small man”
Ouch.
These comments are in addition to shots he took at the Hall during his acceptance speech:
“Here we are, basically indicted for the same things that we were kept out for. The people are speaking to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and what they’re saying is that they want more. They don’t want to be spoon fed with a handful of choices. The people buy thickets, the people buy albums, the people who nominate do not. Let’s not forget that these are the people who make it all possible. We just benefit from it. I am here tonight because of the people who inspired me, but I am also here because of the people I inspired. So God bless you all. It’s a wonderful night!”
In reading the above, the first thought is that Paul Stanley still sounds bitter, and perhaps he should have let everything go and humbly accept the induction on behalf of the fans that propelled the critically despised into the Hall. We have written (as have hundreds of other publications and websites) about the verbal war that has gone on between Stanley, Gene Simmons and the Hall itself, though mostly the barbs have been from the band itself.
We were openly critical about Stanley and Simmons’s belief that current bandmates, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer should have been included in the induction. While they are correct about the longer tenure of the two men in question, they had little creative input into the band, and let’s be realistic that the “KISS Army” was for the most happy with the inclusion of the original four, and that this was the quartet they wanted to see perform at the ceremony.
Original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss who were inducted were vocal earlier in the month about wanting to perform and that this would hurt the KISS fans that wanted to see a reunion, albeit for one set.
Now as much as we despised the hardline stance that Gene and Paul took, it was nothing compared to our hatred for the Hall itself for snubbing them for fifteen years out of what was clear hatred for the band itself. Jann Wenner was one of the co-founders of the Hall of Fame, and the Publisher of Rolling Stone has been vocal in the past about his dislike for KISS and other Hard Rock and Metal acts.
Multiple accounts have discussed Wenner’s influence in the voting process and the best example is when Wenner bumped the Dave Clark Five despite securing enough votes from the committee. He supplanted them in favour of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, as Wenner decided that it was more important to induct the first Rap act instead.
With Wenner yielding such power (and having been vocal on many occasions of his dislike of KISS) if you were a member of that band would you harbour any soft spot in your heart for him? How accurate was Paul Stanley’s assertion that they were unwanted guests? Really, how could they not feel like anything but party crashers, when you know that the “host” reluctantly invited them in the first place?
In retrospect, this website came into existence primarily due to the dubious omissions (and inclusions) of which KISS has been one of the most glaring. At this point, we are just happy this chapter is closed, though with this Hall of Fame, there are too many chapters that are unfinished.
