Committee Chairman
Our Notinhalloffame Football list has been updated: 21-40, Part 2
We are diligently working away at Notinhalloffame on revising our Football lists to reflect the winter’s respective classes, but as you may have seen, we have been swamped with our main project, the United States Athletic Hall of Fame, which is the only one of its kind, where you can vote for the greatest Athletes, Coaches, Contributors, and Commentators for the 2026 Class.
This is a very important project, and please support us by voting daily at www.theusahof.com.
In the meantime, we have rebuilt the 21-40 (Part 2) on our Notinhalloffame Football List, which we are pleased to show below:
They are:
#21. Verne Lewellen
#22. Frank Gore
#23. Reggie Wayne
#24. Kevin Williams
#25. Steve Wisniewski
#26. Steve Smith Sr.
#27. Dick Schafrath

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 2001 Semi-Final VOTE
2001 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:
Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.
We have completed the years up to 2000.
For “2001,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1995. We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.
Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.
A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.
31 votes were cast, with the top 15 advancing.
This is for the “Modern Era”

The United States Hockey Hall of Fame names its 2026 Class
This week, the United States Hockey Hall of Fame announced its five-person Class of 2026, which will consist of Amanda Kessel, Phil Kessel, T.J. Oshie, Ryan Suter, and Stan Wong.
Let’s take a look at the Class of 2026:
Amanda Kessel, Forward: From Madison, Wisconsin, Kessel played collegiately for the University of Minnesota, where the forward helped the Golden Gophers win three NCAA Championships (2012, 2013 & 2016), while individually winning the 2013 Patty Kazmaier Award. Overall in college, she scored a staggering 248 points in 136 games.
Internationally, Kessel was a gem, winning gold in the 2018 Olympics and gold in the 2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2023 World Championships. She also played in NWHL, PWHPA, and PWHL, and she is currently the manager of minor league operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Phil Kessel, Forward: Like his sister, Amanda, Phil also played at the University of Minnesota, though for only one year; he shone brightly, winning the WCHA Rookie of the Year. He was drafted fifth overall by the Boston Bruins, where he won the Bill Masterton Trophy as a rookie after recovering from testicular cancer. Kessel later played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins later in his career. The three-time All-Star later played for Arizona and Vegas, where he concluded his career with the Vegas Golden Knights and won his third Stanley Cup.
Over his career, Kessel scored 992 points and set the record for 1,064 consecutive games played. Internationally, Kessel represented the United States in two Olympics (2010 & 2014) and three World Championships, and captured silver in the 2010 Vancouver Games. The induction of the Kessel siblings marks the second set, following the Granatos (Tony and Cammi).
T.J. Oshie, Forward: From Everett, Washington, Oshie had three great seasons at the University of North Dakota, followed by a 16-season NHL career split between the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitals. Scoring 695 points, Oshie helped the Washington Capitals win their first Stanley Cup in 2018.
For Team U.S.A., he represented the Americans in one Olympics, one World Cup, and three World Championships.
Ryan Suter, Defense: The son of U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Bob Suter, and nephew of fellow HOF inductee Gary Suter, Ryan Suter played 20 seasons in the NHL with stops in Nashville, Minnesota, Dallas and St. Louis. A three-time All-Star, Suter received Norris Trophy votes annually from 2010 to 2019, peaking with a runner-up finish in the 2012-13 campaign. He scored 696 points over 1,526 games.
Internationally, he was a member of the 2010 Olympic silver-medal-winning team, and he also played on the 2014 Olympic team, the 2016 World Cup team, and five World Hockey Championships teams.
Stan Wong, Athletic Trainer: Wong has been a trainer for 40 years, 24 of which were with the U.S. National Team.
We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the members of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.
