Pat Foley and Kevin Allen enter the Hockey HOF
Jun 06, 2014

Not in Hall of Fame News
We have new members of the Hockey Hall of Fame! USA Today Hockey Reporter, Kevin Allen and Chicago Blackhawks play-by-play announcer, Pat Foley have been chosen today to enter the Toronto based institution.
Allen is this year’s recipient of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award, which is given to the newspaper writer who has brought honor to the sport of Hockey. The Award was first created in 1984 and the honorees automatically receive enshrinement to the Hockey Hall of Fame. He is in his thirtieth year covering the sport and last December he received the Lester Patrick Award from the National Hockey League, which celebrated those who contributed to the growth of Hockey in the United States.
Pat Foley is this year’s Foster Hewitt Memorial Award recipient, which again was created in 1984. Foley has spent the last thirty-one years as the primary play-by-play announcer of the Chicago Blackhawks and was also used by FOX as an announcer for them in the late 1990’s.
We would like to congratulate both Kevin Allen and Pat Foley for receiving this accolade, which should be considered the pinnacle of both of their careers.
Shane Battier to wrap up his career
Jun 06, 2014

Not in Hall of Fame News
With the knowledge that Miami Heat player, Shane Battier will be calling it a career and joining ESPN after the NBA Finals, we thought it might be worth a look at his career to see what chance he might have for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
You might be thinking that his professional career doesn’t measure up, and though he did make a Second Team All NBA Defensive selection and two NBA Titles (and perhaps a third), he has a Points per Game Career Average under 10, and a Career PER under 15. Battier may be a respected teammate and a major locker room asset, but those are not numbers that can earn you a trip to Springfield.
Still, this Hall of Fame is not just about professional accomplishments and what a player does in College counts here. Shane Battier was a major star at Duke, where he led the Blue Devils to the NCAA Championship in 2001, and took them to the Final Four two years earlier. He won every major NCAA Player of the Year Award in 2001, including the Final Four MVP and was a three time Defensive Player of the Year in College.
That type of performance still may not earn him a trip to the Basketball Hall of Fame (though it should make him a lock for the College Hall), but is it enough to make our top one hundred? We will await your input on that one.
Gene Simmons sounds off again about the RRHOF
May 30, 2014

Not in Hall of Fame News
Are we ever going to stop writing about KISS and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Seriously, it seems we have much more to write about since they have been inducted than during the entire period they were snubbed.
After being “interviewed” by TMZ, Gene Simmons, again reiterated his previous statements that Rap and Disco do not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which though is not a sentiment shared by us at Notinhalloffame.com, is one that can be found easily across the web. What we found most interesting is that the large tonged bass player had to say about Nirvana’s induction, which coincidentally was inducted this year along with KISS.
“For me having two or three records is not enough…I respect Kurt Cobain…I love the songwriting and fire of Nirvana. Personally I would have waited fifteen to twenty years. You know who’s bigger than Nirvana? Foo Fighters. Because they’ve had a bigger impact on new bands…Why? Because they see a new an arena full of people singing “You’re my Hero””
Simmons was asked if he thought that Dave Grohl had a bigger impact on music than Kurt Cobain, to which he replied that based on longevity and the impact on the current generation that he did.
As much as we love Grohl and will certainly be ranking them very high once eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but for Simmons to deny the impact of Nirvana as a band only shows that the “Demon” was not paying attention to the musical landscape in the early 1990’s.
We are curious to hear what Simmons, and Paul Stanley will say next. We all know they will speak out again!
RIP: Matthew Saad Muhammad

The world of boxing lost one if its most exciting combatants as former World Light Heavyweight Champion, Matthew Saad Muhammad died today at the age of 59 in Philadelphia of ALS.
Muhammad rose through the ranks and in 1979 he defeated Marvin Johnson for the WBC Light Heavyweight Championship with an 8th round Knockout. He would make eight successful title defences including the Ring Magazine Fight of the Year in a fourteen round TKO win over Yaqui Lopez. He held the World Title until Dwight Muhammad Qawi defeated him in December of 1981 and realistically his time at the top had come to the end.
He would continue to box for the rest of the decade though he would trade losses with wins finishing up with a career record of 49-16-3 with 35 Knockouts. Muhammad would actually try his hand at Mixed Martial Arts at the first ever UWFI show in Japan, though he was defeated within a minute.
Like many other former boxers, his career after the ring did not go well. By 2010, he was homeless and broke, and became another tragic tale. We would rather remember him for his past glory and as the International Boxing Hall of Fame member of the Class of 1998. We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Matthew Saad Muhammad.
