Committee Chairman
Tom Flores and Drew Pearson named as the Coach and Senior Finalist for the PFHOF Class of 2021
Recently, the Pro Football Hall of Fame made its announcement as to how it would go forward with Senior, Coach and Contributor candidates, as they stated they would have one Finalist going forward in the next four years. We already know who the Coach and Senior candidates are for the 2021 Class, which are Tom Flores and Drew Pearson respectively.
Flores was a Finalist in 2019, and was a 2020 Centennial Slate Finalist. The first Hispanic Coach of the NFl, Flores had a career record of 105-90 with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders & the Seattle Seahawks, taking the former to two Super Bowl Titles (XV & XVIII).
The Hall faced backlash when Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher appeared to have leapfrogged Flores and six-time Finalist, Don Coryell. Coryell has long since passed, but Flores is still alive at 88, and was upset about his snub last year, especially after being told by Hall of Fame President, David Baker, that he was a “shoe-in”.
Pearson was never a Finalist in the Modern Day Committee, and like Flores, he too was on the Centennial Slate list of Finalists. Pearson played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1973 to 1983 and he was a three-time First Team All-Pro and the Receiving Yards leader in 1977. He helped Dallas win Super Bowl XII, and was a member of the 1970s All-Decade Team. He had 7,822 Yards with 48 Touchdowns over his 11-year career.
Pearson was filmed watching the 2020 Hall of Fame 100thAnniversary selection show. He was clearly crushed by his omission, and felt that the hall did him wrong. Based on the fact that it was a two-hour show, and he had to wait until the end to learn for certain that he wasn’t selected. The pain had to have come early, as in the show’s first segment, fellow Wide Receiver, Harold Carmichael came to accept his gold jacket. It had to be evident to Pearson, and those watching that if he hadn’t already known that he was being inducted, it was unlikely that he would be.
Pearson in ranked #28 on our latest Notinhalloffame.com Football list. We do not rank Coaches at this time.
Please keep in mind that this is not a guarantee that both will be inducted by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, although it seems inconceivable that they will not be chosen.
We cautiously offer our congratulations to Flores and Pearson at this time, and hope that the Pro Football Hall of Fame committee will do the right thing.
Our All-Time Top 50 Milwaukee Brewers have been revised
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the first revision of our top 50 Milwaukee Brewers of all-time.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in their respective League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
This is the first time that we have revised this specific list, which was first put up in 2016, and there are many changes, though none that are changing the top five.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories, which has altered the rankings considerably.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Robin Yount
2. Paul Molitor
3. Ryan Braun
4. Cecil Cooper
We had a debut of Christian Yelich, who despite only having completed two full seasons, won two Batting Titles, two OPS Titles and an MVP. No Brewer has ever had back-to-back years like Yelich, who arrives on this list at #11. Two-time All-Star, Corey Hart was overlooked in our original list. He now appears at #25. Current Milwaukee Centerfielder, Lorenzo Cain debuts at #37. Former 2000s infielder Bill Hall, who was previously overlooked, comes in at #49.
We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.
Our All-Time Top 50 New York Mets have been revised

3. David Wright
5. Jacob deGrom
The top four remains unchanged, but DeGrom ascent was astronomical, as he was at #40 when we put out our first Mets list in 2016. Two straight Cy Youngs will do that!
Beyond DeGrom, the other significant jump was Noah Syndergaard, who jumped from #50 to #31.

Our All-Time Top 50 Baltimore Orioles are now up
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Baltimore Orioles.
The Baltimore Orioles were formed as a charter member of the American League in 1901, when they were the Milwaukee Brewers. That only lasted one year, as they relocated to St. louis as the Browns. While in St. Louis, the Browns had limited success, having only won one Pennant (1944), but fortunes changed when they relocated to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Orioles.
With a trade that brought them Frank Robinson, the Orioles won the World Series in 1966, and with a starting rotation based around Jim Palmer, the O’s won it again in 1970. A young Cal Ripken Jr. would lead them to their third World Series in 1983, which is to date their last title.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
2. Jim Palmer
5. Eddie Murray
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
As always we thank you for your support.
