Jim Brown sounds off on the Pro Football HOF Fanfest
May 06, 2014
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The Football Hall of Fame had their fan fest where fans had the opportunity to participate in Q&A sessions with multiple Hall of Famers. Many quotes abounded about the ability of Johnny Manziel to succeed in the NFL, the survival of the Buffalo Bills, and Michael Sam, who is poised to be the first openly gay player in the NFL, but in our eyes, and that of many, the most interesting quotes came from Jim Brown, who trashed the NCAA.
Brown stated that “the NCAA is probably the most reprehensible organization God ever created” and described their practice as “Total Exploitation” and that the “kind of money they make” when referring to key members of the NCAA and the high end institutions is “embarrassing”.
He equated the NCAA a governing body that needs to be torn down and built up again from scratch:
“I’m totally for change and total change and I think that body needs to be torn apart and put back together with everybody’d best interests in mind.” Brown also welcomed a rebuttal from the NCAA to bring this issue to a greater light. To the surprise of nobody, The NCAA declined to respond.
Brown is far from the first former athlete (or current one for that matter) to take the NCAA to task for its archaic ways and perceived exploitation of many of the star student athletes. Still, when a man the stature of Jim Brown takes the NCAA to task, you have to listen.
We know this much; of all the pilgrimages we want to take in the coming years the Football Hall of Fame fanfest is high up on the list; especially if Jim Brown is there again!
Dikembe Mutombo now #1 on our Basketball List
May 03, 2014
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
We here at Notinhalloffame.com are very pleased to unveil this year’s version of the Basketball List. This is for those who should be considered for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. This particular Hall, does not just focus on the Professional game, but encompasses the College, International and the Women’s game.
On our last list, our number three and number nine ranked players, Alonzo Mourning and Tim Richmond were chosen for the Class of 2014, as well as our number ninety-eight player, Guy Rodgers was also chosen as a direct elect Veterans Committee Candidate. As such, there are three openings on our top one hundred which have been of course filled.
Our top ten has gone through a bit of an overhaul. Chris Webber, who was our number one choice for our 2014 List, does not return to the top spot, though will be ranked at number two. Webber was not chosen as a Finalist this year by the voting committee for the Basketball Hall of Fame, though his statistics reflect that he should have been. His omission is likely due to the sanctions that occurred at Michigan from his acceptance of financial aid from boosters.
Our new number one player is Dikembe Mutombo who is entering his first year of eligibility. The African born player was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year four times, and played in the NBA All Star Game eight times. As mentioned, Webber slides down to number two, and Spencer Haywood is at number three. Haywood was also a Finalist for the Hall of Fame last year, and was informed erroneously that he was chosen two years ago.
The top ten rounds out with Jack Sikma (four), Sidney Moncreif (five), Mark Aguire (six), Buck Williams (seven), Max Zaslovski (eight), Bob Dandridge (nine) and Shawn Kemp (ten). At the tail end of the top one hundred, previous list entries, Anthony Mason and Dale Davis return at ninety-nine and one hundred respectively.
As always, we encourage all of you to cast your votes and give an opinion. Rankings are always affected but what we hear from all of you!
Willie McGee and Jim Edmonds to the Cardinals HOF
May 01, 2014
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The St. Louis Cardinals, who launched their franchise’s Hall of Fame in January of this year, has announced that four new members will be inducted along with the twenty-two men who were inducted immediately.
Those initial twenty-two, were players and contributors who were already inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after having extensive service with the St. Louis Cardinals. It was announced that the fans would be able to vote on a ballot of eight former Cardinals, whereby the top two would also be inducted.
The votes are in and the Cardinals fans chose Willie McGee and Jim Edmonds to join the esteemed Hall. McGee won the 1985 National League MVP Award on a season where he won the Batting Title, a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove Award.
Jim Edmonds was a part of the 2006 World Series Championship Team and earned three All Star appearances and three Gold Gloves. The popular outfielder smacked 241 Home Runs while playing there.
The special “Red Ribbon Committee” added Marty Marion, “The Octopus” to their Hall of Fame. Marion was not known for his hitting, but he was regarded as the top defensive infielder in his day and he won the 1944 NL MVP Award.
The Cardinals themselves chose longtime broadcaster, Mike Shannon, who served in that capacity for four decades.
We would again like to congratulate the St. Louis Cardinals for putting together a quality Hall of Fame that is fan interactive and recognizes their glorious past.
Country Music HOF adds Crystal Gayle Exhibit
May 01, 2014

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Country Music Hall of Fame is at it again. With their size now doubled from the year previous they have had room for new exhibits, a new theatre and as such, a week after they announced a Kenny Rogers exhibit, a spotlight exhibit on Crystal Gayle will be gracing the Hall next month.
Dubbed “Crystal Gayle: When I Dream”, the exhibit will showcase her awards, her fashion and personal memorabilia starting from May 2 to November 3 of this year. Gayle will be on hand on the 3rd of May for a concert, which will be streamed on the museum’s website.
The younger sister of Country Music icon, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle was best known for her floor length hair and Country Pop success. Her biggest hit, “Don’t it Make it Brown Eyes Blue” was one of the biggest songs of the 1970’s, and is still well known today.
Again, we commend the Country Music Hall of Fame for being one of the most innovative of its kind.
