You know that we here at Notinhalloffame.com never take our foot off the pedal right?
Here is what we have that is coming soon on our website!
You have all seen that the Finalists are up for our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. Hopefully you have voted, or will be soon, but there is still time to vote for our other Fictional Hall of Fame, The Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which will announce the first ever, class on October 6, based on your online votes.
In a month, we will be updating the Football Futures where we will allow you to give your opinion on players who will become eligible from 2017 to 2020 and if they should be ranked in our elite Notinhalloffame.com Football 100.
In what could be one of the more controversial (or maybe most popular section in our site) we have received correspondence from a man identifying himself as “Dr. Johnny Pervert”. He is looking to provide to us the 250 hottest females in sports, and while that isn’t exactly our wheelhouse, we are a list based site, so why not!
We are finally getting around to our top fifty players for each North American franchise, a list that will continually be updated upon the end of each season. The end goal is to slowly roll out one team each month, and as always, seek your input as to their respective impact with each organization. The first team should be unveiled by mid to late October.
You have also noticed that we have almost completed the active Hockey Hall of Fame inductees on the site, so that you can let us know whether those inducted should be there. After we do that, and update the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and WWE Hall of Fame inductees, we will begin adding the Basketball Hall of Fame inductees.
Is there a list you want us to do, or perhaps you would like to make one for us?
Let us know, and as always we thank you for your support!
