2001 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still figuring that out, we treated the PFHOF as having its first class in January 1946.

For “2001,” a Preliminary Vote with over 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, voters will be asked to select 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, then choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit fewer than the allotted number of spots. 

31 Votes took place.

This is for the “Modern Era”

Not every online betting site lets you take out your money quickly. The top platforms set up their systems so you can get your cash fast. They focus on four main things:

  2. Flexible Payment Networks: You can use crypto money, connect your bank, or use fast online wallets, so your money goes out right away once it's okayed.
  3. Transparent KYC Protocols: These sites ask for your ID checks at sign up. This stops any sudden holds or wait time later when youask for your cash.
  4. Low Transaction Fees: Good sites pay most or all money movement costs. This lets you keep most of your winnings.

What is the fastest payment method for online betting cashouts?

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, USDT, and Litecoin can give you very fast processing times. Direct e-wallets that use an API also move money quickly. Most of the time, your payments will clear in just a few minutes.

Why do some withdrawals take longer than expected?

Delays usually happen because there are accounts that are not checked yet (waiting for KYC), people still have betting rules to follow, or cashouts are made by using slow old ways like bank wire transfers.

Are there extra fees associated with rapid withdrawals?

Most leading platforms let you take out money from digital wallets and cryptocurrencies without any extra fees. But there may be gas fees for crypto or regular bank processing charges. These can depend on who you use.

The good news and good feelings keep rolling into the LA Rams’ camp on the eve of the new NFL season. After a summer of rumors, one of the all-time great NFL defenders, Aaron Donald, has decided to come out of retirement to rejoin the franchise. Donald is expected to earn $20 million, which could rise to $30 million with bonuses. It means that the Rams boast the current NFL MVP in Matthew Stafford and the current Defensive Player of the Year in Myles Garrett. Donald’s return feels like the cherry on top of an incredible offseason.

In truth, the return of the former three-time DPOY and 10-time Pro Bowler did not move the NFL betting markets a huge amount. The Rams were clear Super Bowl favorites before the announcement, and nothing has really changed all that much. It was the trade for Garrett earlier in the offseason that really moved the dial. 

Can anyone stop them? Well, the short answer is yes, of course. The list of favorites for a Super Bowl at the start of the season that failed to go all the way is a lot longer than those who ended up with rings. In fact, since 1977, the preseason Super Bowl favorite has had something in the region of a 12% success rate. It’s a pretty brutal record when you think about it. 

The Rams have everything going for them

That said, it would be foolish to dismiss the Rams just because they have been tagged as favorites. That’s not the way it works. And just because sportsbooks have gotten it wrong in the past does not mean they are wrong this time. This looks like a well-balanced team, one for whom the experience of the postseason earlier this year, including the disappointment of losing the NFC Championship Game to the Seahawks, should help them. 

For fans, the interesting thing is that we could learn a lot about the Rams pretty quickly. The early part of the season looks like quite the test. The Rams are favored in the NFL Week 1 betting lines to get the win over the 49ers in Australia, but they will also have tests against the Broncos, Bills and Eagles within the first five games. Only the home game against the Giants in Week 2 looks straightforward. 

It's not absolutely crucial that the Rams hit the ground running in these games, as plenty of championship-caliber teams have taken a bit of time to find their groove in the past, but it does serve to give us some indication of how they can match up. Indeed, playing four postseason-level teams – the 49ers, Eagles, Bills and Broncos – in the first five weeks is as tough as it gets.

A tough-as-it-gets NFC West 

We are sure that Sean McVay also has one eye on the two games with the Seattle Seahawks within the final 3 games of the schedule. They could go a long way to deciding the NFC West, about which the Broncos could also have a say. That division looks really tough, so if McVay is hoping for his team to be battle-tested en route to the postseason, he’s got his wish. 

For now, all of this is speculative. We saw last season, with two long shots, the Seahawks and Patriots, making the Super Bowl, that predictions can be way off the mark. But the Rams are in a very, very good place right now. Nobody doubts that this stacked roster doesn’t deserve to be the Super Bowl favorite. Delivering on that promise is another matter. 

The 2026 NFL season is here, and we have updated our Pre-Season Football Monitor.

As we have expanded our projects, we can’t say we've expanded the team behind the scenes!  As a result, we are a little behind on this one, and we could only post the top 50 of the Pre-Season Monitor at this time.

We will add more during the season (and yes, we know that defeats the purpose of pre-season), but thank you for your patience.

We have unveiled the Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Offensive Linemen, Defensive Linemen/Linebackers/Pass Rushers/EDGE, and we conclude with Defensive Backs: The Cornerbacks and Safeties.

They are:

#1 CB, #1 Overall: Jalen Ramsey, Pittsburgh Steelers, #20 Last Year.

#1 S, #24 Overall: Budda Baker, Arizona Cardinals, #28 Last Year.

#2 S, #28 Overall: Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings, #38 Last Year.

#3 S, #44 Overall: Minkah Fitzpatrick, New York Jets, #43 Last Year

Look for more updates soon!
