Fans of our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame likely remember the late 1990’s film, Varsity Blues. Sadly, we learned that Ron Lester, who played troubled Offensive Lineman, “Billy Bob” passed away at the age of 45.
Lester, who was morbidly obese during the time of the film, had lost most of that weight and did not look remotely like his former self. Despite that weight loss (or perhaps because of it), Lester developed severe kidney and liver problems and had been in the hospital the last four months. He was taken off of life support, as per his request.
The role of “Billy Bob” was the biggest of his career, and with the exception of a parody role of his Varsity Blues performance in “Not Another Teen Movie”, he was never in a major film again.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com and the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame extend our condolences to the friends and family of Ron Lester at this time.

Every year it seems that we here at Notinhalloffame.com talk about the TNA Hall of Fame and openly ask if with the financial state of the wrestling promotion whether they will be around along enough to induct another performer.
We ask that question again as this week they have announced the selection of their first female entrant, Gail Kim, to their Hall.
This is an excellent choice as the Canadian wrestler was what the TNA women’s division was built on and for a time it could be stated that TNA put out some of the best women’s wrestling in America mainly due to Kim, and more specifically her series with Awesome Kong.
Kim has won the TNA Women’s Title five times and the WWE Women’s title once.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Gail Kim for this honor and hope she will not be the last entrant to their Hall of Fame.

Awards = HOF? Part Nineteen: The King Clancy Award

From the Desk of the Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.
Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
