Champ Bailey Retires
Oct 29, 2014
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It was announced today that Cornerback, Champ Bailey has decided to officially retire from Professional Football. Bailey, who was cut by the New Orleans Saints in the pre-season, has decided not to continue, although he did receive feelers from a few NFL teams.
Bailey was a standout at the University at Georgia, where he was a consensus All American in 1998 and the winner of the Bronco Nagurski Award as the Nations top Defensive Player. Bailey would also contribute on Special Teams and occasionally on Offence where he had five Touchdowns.
In the 1999 NFL Draft, Bailey was chosen in the First Round (the seventh pick overall) by the Washington Redskins and immediately was inserted as the starter at Left Cornerback. He was not just a starter, but was a great compliment to veterans Deion Sanders and Darrell Green, who helped mentor the young Georgian.
In the next three seasons, Bailey would move up to Pro Bowl Level, earning the forst three of what would be a record twelve appearances to Hawaii as a Cornerback. However, his time in Washington would end after only four seasons.
With his contract up, the Redskins intended to put the franchise tag on Bailey, which caused Bailey threaten to holdout. Washington surprisingly sought out trade options and worked with the Cornerback to move him out. He landed in Denver in a trade where along with a second round pick, he was swapped for Running Back Clinton Portis. Bailey, who was already considered one of the top Corners in the NFL, moved to an elite level in the Mie High City.
In his first three seasons with the Broncos, Champ Bailey was named a First Team All Pro and statistically in 2006 he would lead the NFL in Interceptions and Interception Return Yards. Bailey would cause opposing Quarterbacks for years to avoid him, and he has the distinction of being one of the few regular starting Cornerbacks to go an entire season without allowing a Touchdown in multiple seasons.
For his efforts, Bailey was named a member of the NFL 2000’s All Decade Team, a two time NFL Alumni Defensive Back of the Year and was clearly one of the best players to ever the play the position during his era.
The last professional game that he suited up for was with the Denver Broncos in last year’s devastating Super Bowl loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Due to salary cap restrictions, Bailey was cut by Seattle and signed in the off season with the Saints, though failed to make the regular season roster.
Overall, Champ Bailey retires with 51 Interceptions and 812 Solo Tackles. It is widely expected that he has done more than enough to be considered a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, and barring a return to the sport he will be eligible in 2019.
Thanks Champ for the memories, and we will see you on our list soon, and in Canton shortly there after!
The Hockey Futures are Updated

Not in Hall of Fame News
You may have noticed that we here at Notinhalloffame.com only post Hockey players whom are still active in our futures list. The main reason for that is that the Hockey Hall of Fame inducts players three years after their retirement as opposed to the five used by Football, Baseball and Basketball, thus rendering us looking a little further ahead in this winter sport than the others.
As such, we have updated our TBD (To be determined) list of those to consider for the Hockey Hall of Fame. These men, and with all die respect to them, are players who are clearly on the downswing of their career and are likely to retire within the next five years.
The players we have added are as follows:

Roberto Luongo, a two time Gold Medalist with Team Canada and two time Second Team All Star.
Zdeno Chara, a member of the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup Champions and former Norris Trophy winner and three time First Time All Star.
This is in addition to those who already there which includes:
Dan Boyle, a two time Second Team All Star Defenceman and a 2004 Stanley Cup winner with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Daniel Alfredsson, a six time All Star and recipient of the 1996 Calder Trophy and 2006 Olympic Gold Medalist with Sweden.
Ed Jovanovski, a Gold Medalist with Canada in the Olympics and five time All Star.
Evgeni Nabokov, the 2001 Calder Trophy winner and First Team All Star in 2008.
Jaormir Jagr, a former Hart Trophy winner and five time NHL scoring champion.
Kimmo Timonen, a Finnish Defenceman who was a former four time NHL All Star Game participant.
Lubomir Visnovsky, a Slovakian Defenceman who once was named a Second Team All Star.
Martin Brodeur, a current Free Agent and winner of two Olympic Gold Medals, three Stanley Cups and four Vezina Trophies.
Martin St. Louis, a former Stanley Cup winner with Tampa and the winner of one Hart Trophy, two Art Ross Trophies and three Lady Byngs.

Country Music HOF Inducts Ronnie Milsap
Oct 27, 2014
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Tonight the Country Music Hall of Fame officially inducted their latest class, which was headlined by Ronnie Milsap, Bluegrass legend Mac Wiseman and the late songwriter, Hank Cochran.
Milsap, a classically trained artist with Appalachian roots, got his start with Elvis Presley and would become of the most successful Country Musicians of all time. Milsap, whose broad spectrum of influences allowed him to have significant crossover success on both the Pop and Jazz and scored an astonishing 40 #1 songs on the Country Music Charts.
Virginia born Mac Wiseman first became known in the industry by playing with industry legends, The Foggy Bottom Boys and Bill Monroe. Striking out on his own Wiseman would become very successful and would become somewhat of a cult figure in the genre.
Hank Cochran was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame posthumously. His best known work was penning Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces” and Ray Price’s “Make the World Go Away”.
We would like to congratulate the Country Music Hall of Fame, which in the past couple of years has elevated its already strong presence.
