Our 2023 Football Futures are now up
As we approach the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, we have been working on our future eligible section.

RIP: Nick Buoniconti
It is a sad day in the world of the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins as it was announced that former Linebacker, Nick Buoniconti, passed away today at the age of 78.
The undersized Linebacker was drafted in the 13thRound out of Notre Dame by the Boston Patriots in 1962, where he would be a five-time AFL All-Star for the Pats. He would be traded to the Miami Dolphins in 1969 where he would anchor their “No-Name Defense” and help them win Super Bowl VII and VIII. He would be named to two Pro Bowls as a Dolphin.
Buoniconti would be chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends, fans and family of Nick Buoniconti.
Our All-Time Top 50 Atlanta Braves are now up!
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Atlanta Braves who first came into fruition as the Boston Red Stockings, a charter member of the National League. After multiple name changes, they settled on the name of the Braves in the early 1910’s. The team would relocate to Milwaukee in 1953 and then to Atlanta in 1966. Despite their longevity, they have only won three World Series (1914, 1957 & 1995).
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:
- Advanced Statistics.
- Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
- Playoff accomplishments.
- Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2018 Season.
The complete list can be found here,but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
- Eddie Mathews
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
As always we thank you for your support.
