Committee Chairman
The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 2004 Preliminary VOTE
2004 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 “2004,” a Preliminary Vote with over 100 players whose playing career ended by 1998. 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”

AUDGaming Casino: AU$3,000 Welcome Package and Instant Payouts for Aussies
Three-part welcome package up to AU$3,000. Crypto withdrawals in under two hours. POLi, Neosurf, and Visa in the cashier alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Providers in the footer include Greentube, Red Tiger, Gamomat, Booongo, and Bluebird. That's AUDGaming Casino from the outside: an online casino built around Australian players with AUD as the default currency and payment methods that work locally.
The Welcome Package
Three deposits, three bonuses, one package totalling up to AU$3,000.
The structure:
- 1st deposit: 100% match up to AU$1,000 plus 100 free spins;
- 2nd deposit: 50% match up to AU$1,000;
- 3rd deposit: 75% match up to AU$1,000.
Minimum deposit is AU$20. Wagering sits at 35x, which is on the workable side. Bonuses are optional. Players who prefer to deposit without wagering conditions can skip them at checkout.
Beyond the welcome period, AUDGaming runs weekly cashback up to 10%, reload bonuses, and free spin drops tied to featured games. The loyalty programme is tiered. Cashback rates improve as players progress through levels, with the 10% weekly cashback rate available at higher tiers. Better withdrawal terms and a personal account manager also come with progression. The climb is based on wagering volume, so regular players move through it at a reasonable pace.
Games
AUDGaming runs titles from 40+ providers, with Greentube, Red Tiger, Gamomat, Booongo, and Bluebird among those visible in the lobby. The range covers pokies, table games, and live dealer.
Pokies
The pokie catalogue splits across high-volatility video slots, Megaways titles, classic 3-reel games, and jackpot formats including daily drops and progressives. Filters let players sort by feature type, volatility, or provider, which makes finding the right session pace easier than scrolling blind.
Popular titles on the floor include 20 Coins, Aloha King Elvis, Wolf's Moon, Coin Strike: Hold and Win, Striking Diamond: Running Wins, and Mighty Wild: Panther.
Table Games
Blackjack, baccarat, and roulette cover the table side in both RNG and live formats. Blackjack variants include European and American rule sets, side bets, and speed formats. Roulette covers European and French wheels plus auto-roulette for faster sessions.
Live Casino
The live dealer section streams in real time with professional hosts. Available tables include Live Blackjack with side bets, Speed Baccarat, and Lightning Roulette for players chasing multiplier rounds. Stream quality holds up on mobile data as well as desktop.
Banking
AUDGaming covers both local Australian payment methods and international options.

BS96 Casino: An Honest Look at the Site Aussie Players Are Talking About
Landed on BS96 Casino for the first time and the welcome package is the first thing that grabs attention. A$2,000 across multiple deposits — not a single top-up and done, but a package that stretches across the early period on the site. That's a different approach to the usual one-and-out welcome offer, and it's worth understanding before signing up.
The licence is Curaçao eGaming. The game library has names like Red Tiger, Belatra, Voltent, and 1Spin4Win in the footer, with the full provider count likely sitting higher. Live dealer, pokies, and table games are all present. Banking runs on cards and crypto. No app to download.
First Impressions: The Bonus Structure
The A$2,000 package isn't claimed in one go. It spreads across the first deposits, which means each top-up during the welcome window comes with its own matched component. For players who deposit gradually, that's a more useful structure than a single large match that evaporates after one session.
Terms apply at each stage. Wagering requirements, eligible games, and expiry windows are all listed in the Promotions tab once logged in. Reading those before depositing is time well spent.
After the welcome period, BS96 keeps the promo section active. Reload offers, loyalty-based rewards, and game-tied campaigns appear through the year. The calendar moves regularly, so there's usually something current to claim.
The Game Lobby
Three sections: pokies, table games, live casino. The pokie catalogue includes titles from Red Tiger, Belatra, Voltent, and 1Spin4Win among others. Book of Dead, Buffalo SPACE GrandWays, and Cash Pig are on the floor. Demo mode lets players try before committing real money, which is always worth using if a title is unfamiliar.
Red Tiger is notable here for a specific reason: the studio runs daily jackpot mechanics and time-sensitive in-game prize events alongside the standard reel action. For players who want a reason to log in on a Tuesday, that's a different pull from regular slots.
Table games cover blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. The live casino runs the same formats with real dealers streaming in real time. Betting limits vary, so checking the table minimums before sitting down makes sense, especially during busier streaming hours.
How Payments Work
Cards and cryptocurrency on both sides of the cashier. Deposits are quick. Withdrawals need account verification first, and the smart move is to complete that before requesting the first payout rather than finding out mid-process that documents are still pending.
Crypto moves fastest on the way out. Cards and bank options follow their own timelines. No fees from the casino side on transactions.
Playing on a Phone
No app exists for BS96. The mobile browser version carries the full site: game lobby, live tables, cashier, and account management. It works on Android and iOS without needing a download or a workaround. Adding the site to the home screen gives the kind of access that makes the lack of an app a non-issue for most players.
FAQ
How does the A$2,000 welcome package work at BS96 Casino?
BS96 Casino spreads the A$2,000 across multiple first deposits. Each deposit in the welcome window carries its own matched component. The full terms at BS96 Casino are in the Promotions tab after registration.
What games does BS96 Casino have?
The BS96 Casino lobby covers pokies, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and live dealer tables. Providers visible in the lobby include Red Tiger, Belatra, Voltent, and 1Spin4Win, with a wider catalogue behind those names.
Does BS96 Casino work on mobile?
Yes. BS96 Casino runs in mobile browsers on Android and iOS. The full lobby, cashier, and account tools are accessible on a phone at BS96 Casino without downloading an app.
What payment methods are available at BS96 Casino?
BS96 Casino accepts cards and cryptocurrency for deposits and withdrawals. Crypto is the fastest withdrawal method at BS96 Casino. No transaction fees are charged on the casino side.
Is BS96 Casino safe to play at?
BS96 Casino holds a Curaçao eGaming licence and uses 256-bit encryption. Responsible gambling tools are available through the account settings at BS96 Casino.
Our All Time Top 50 Miami Dolphins have been updated to reflect the 2025 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. We are pleased to present our post-2025 revision of our top 50 Miami Dolphins.
As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:
1. Duration and Impact.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Advanced Statistics.
4. Playoff performance.
5. Their respective legacy on the team.
6. How successful the team was when he was there.
7. Respecting the era in which they played.
Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm. Please note that we have implemented this for the first time. This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.
Last year, the Dolphins went 7-10 and missed the playoffs. Only one player on the list was active, with no new entrants based on last season’s play.
As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.
1. Dan Marino
2. Jason Taylor
3. Zach Thomas
4. Bob Griese
5. Jim Langer
You can find the complete list here:
The only point of note was Tyreek Hill, who was on the Dolphins roster last year, but did not do enough to get past #45.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
