The decision to make Bruce Matthews the greatest Oiler/Titan, was a very simple one.  Matthews is not only one of the most prolific Offensive Lineman in the last 50 years; he is also the most versatile and durable.

Matthews was an iron man of sorts, playing an astounding 296 Regular Season Games (currently 14^th all-time) and starting 293 of them.  Matthews, who was taken ninth overall in 1983, hit his stride in his sixth season, beginning a 14-year streak of Pro Bowls, which is tied for the most ever.  Matthews was a seven-time First Team All-Pro, which he accomplished at three different positions, Right Guard, Center, and Left Guard.  This ability to excel at different slots at the Offensive Line was invaluable to the Oilers/Titans, who could use other Lineman to their strengths.

Playing until 2001, Matthews is still in the top ten all-time in Approximate Value (226), and he was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.  Matthews was named to the 1990s All-Decade Team and the NFL 100^th Anniversary Team.  The Titans retired his number 74 in 2002 and installed him in their franchise RIng of Honor the same year.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced that Art McNally is the Contributor Nominee for the Class of 2022.

McNally is considered to be the “Father of Modern Officiating”, and if elected would be the first official to enter Canton.  Considering how important the officiating crew is in football in relation to other sports, it is surprising that nobody in stripes has yet to be honored with a bust

McNally began his NFL career in 1959 as a field judge, and would be a referee from 1960 to 1968.  Afterward, McNally would become the supervisor of officials, and he modernized the role through extensive training.  In 1986, McNally brought in instant replay, and helped to bring modern technology to the role.  McNally, who is now 96, was a consultant up until six years ago.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our congratulations to Art McNally for achieving this step, and we hope that he will be inducted in 2022.

Mark Pysyk began his pro career in Buffalo, where after four years in Western New York, he was dealt to the Florida Panthers in 2016.

Pysyk, who established himself as a lockdown Defenseman, had more ample opportunity to show his skills as a Panther, and would occasionally appear as a Right Wing when needed.  The native of Alberta did not score much, but he knew his role, and performed it admirably.

He left Florida via free agency in 2020, joining the Dallas Stars. 

After finally becoming the permanent backup to Martin Brodeur in New Jersey, Scott Clemmensen joined the Florida Panthers as a Free Agent going into the 2009-10 Season.

Clemmensen was not the main man in between the pipes for the Panthers either but he had a GAA under three in all of his first three seasons in South Beach.  His best year coming in 2011-12 where over 30 Games, he had a 14-6-6 Record with a 2.57 GAA.  Clemmensen played a lot less in his last two years, especially with the arrival of Roberto Luongo, and he rejoined New Jersey in 2014.

As a Panther, Clemmensen had a record of 40-39-18 and a 2.88 GAA.
