The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced its latest class to their Hall of Fame and it is difficult to argue with any of these selections.
This year’s class will include our number one selection, Joe Sakic. The former Hart Trophy winner enters in his first year of eligibility and was a proven winner on every level. Joining him is our number three selection, Adam Oates, who frankly we think fell through the cracks and should have been inducted years ago. Our number six selection, Mats Sundin also enters the Hall. Like Sakic, the Swedish star enters his first year of eligibility. Rounding out the quartet is Pavel Bure who we had at number eight. Bure’s career was cut short due to injuries and this might explain why he waited as long as he did.
We congratulate all four players and look forward to removing them from our list and working on next year’s addition.
It is that time again where we announce our Notinhalloffame Football Revisions, and we are pleased to announce that the very top has not changed at all! Former Offensive Line stand out from the Green Bay Packers, Jerry Kramer returns to top the list as the most worthy candidate who is not yet in the Football Hall of Fame.
Kramer is the only man who was named to the NFL 50th Anniversary Team who was not selected to the Hall of Fame, and is a member of two Super Bowl Winning teams. Multiple theories have been tossed out to explain Kramer’s exclusion, but the fact remains that there is no reason for this travesty to continue.
Kramer is joined in the top three by Jonathan Ogden and Michael Strahan who are numbers 2 and 3 respectively. Both Ogden and Strahan are making their first appearance on the list as they are entering their first year of eligibility. It should surprise nobody if either or both enter immediately. Larry Allen and Warren Sapp also make their Notinhalloffame debut appearing at numbers 10 and 15 and both have strong enshrinement cases.
Other debuts are John Lynch at 57, Steve McNair at 85, Drew Bledsoe at 96 and Morten Anderson at 98.
Please make your voices heard as votes do go towards future rankings.
On ESPN radio today, Baseball Hall of Famer Goose Gossage stated that Roger Clemens should NOT be going to the Hall of Fame. The former reliever adamantly stated that Clemens and other PED users should not be rewarded for “cheating” and stated firmly “there is no place for them in the Hall of Fame”.
This is not the first time that a current Hall of Fame player has gone on record that those caught taking Performance Enhancing Drugs should be banned from Cooperstown, yet it still carries weight every time you hear it. It was one thing when fans and media state it, but when your fellow athletes from the previous generation do, it causes headlines.
For us here at notinhalloffame, this is actually our most eagerly awaited Hall of Fame ballot.
