The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has announced their seven member Class of 2018. The group consists of five former players, one builder and one amateur player.

Scott Flory played fifteen seasons in the Canadian Football League, all with the Montreal Alouettes. The native of Saskatchewan and former Saskatchewan Husky was a nine time CFL All Star and the Guard was also a two time Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award winner (2008 & 2009). He is also a three time Grey Cup winner.

Barron Miles played twelve years in the CFL after a solid career at the University of Nebraska. A six time CFL All-Star, the Defensive Back split his career with Montreal and the B.C. Lions and would win a Grey Cup with both teams.

Tom Hugo was a star in the 1950’s and like many of his era he played on both sides of the ball. He was named an All Star twelve times.

Hank Ilesic played nineteen seasons (and one in the NFL) as a Punter. Ilesic is a two time CFL All-Star and is third overall in Punting Yards. He is also a seven time Grey Cup winner earning five with the Edmonton Eskimos and two with the Toronto Argonauts.

Brent Johnson was born in Kingston, Ontario and played collegiately at Ohio State where he won a Rose Bowl and a Sugar Bowl. He played eleven years in the CFL with the B.C. Lions and he was a two time Grey Cup Champion and former Most Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year (2006). He is also a three time CFL All-Star and a two time Most Outstanding Canadian (2005 & 2006).

Frank Cosentino enters as a Builder. Cosentino Quarterbacked Western and was the number one draft pick in 1960. With the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, he would win two Grey Cups (1963 & 1965) and he would complete 513 passes for 8,890 Yards and 48 Touchdowns overall in a ten year career. After his playing career he returned to Western and coached them to two Vanier Cups (1971 & 1974). He would later write multiple books, three of which were on Canadian Football.

Paul Brule enters the Hall via his amateur accomplishments. A Fullback and Defensive Halfback at St. Xavier he became the first Canadian college player to score 20 Touchdowns and took the X-Men to a Vanier Cup win. He would have a five year CFL career highlighted by a Western Conference All-Star selection in 1970.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the members of the CFL Hall of Fame Class of 2018.

It was announced today that Mark Henry will be moving from the “Hall of Pain” to the WWE “Hall of Fame”.

Billed as the “Worlds Strongest Man”, Henry was a three time National Weightlifting Champion and two time Olympian. He signed with the then named WWF in 1996 and would make his debut at the September In Your House Pay Per View by defeating Jerry “The King” Lawler. Henry would be injured shortly after and would not return into the following year and would join the heel faction, the Nation of Domination. As a heel, he would gain some personality but following the dismantling of the Nation he would adopt the “Sexual Chocolate” gimmick of a sex starved wrestler and arguably was put in angles (remember Sammy the transvestite and Mae Young giving birth to a hand?) which had to make you think that they were trying to get him to quit.

Still, Mark Henry persevered and would have a brief reign as the WWE European Champion though he would be on and off television for the years that followed, as he would compete in strongman contests and honing his skills in Ohio Valley Wrestling.

Henry would return to the full time roster in 2002, but he was always involved in seemingly start-stop pushes mostly due to injury. In 2005, he was placed in a program with then World Heavyweight Champion Batista and would receive a title shot against then title holder Kurt Angle at the 2006 Royal Rumble. Later that year he would go on to lose to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania in a casket match.

Now firmly entrenched in the upper card Henry would continue to feud with big name performers and would win his first World Championship by defeating Kane for the rebooted ECW Championship. He would later defeat Randy Orton to win the Smackdown World Heavyweight Championship at the 2011 Night of Champions show, which he would hold for two months.

Perhaps what Mark Henry is remembered for most in recent memory was when he feigned retirement on Monday Night Raw in the spring of 2013 and attacked the then Champion, John Cena leading to a Pay Per View encounter. Henry didn’t win, but the angle was easily the most memorable of the year.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com are thrilled that Mark Henry will be going into the WWE Hall of Fame and we would like to congratulate him at this time.

The first content that we ever put up on Notinhalloffame.com was our original Rock and Roll list ranking those who were not yet in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but were worthy of consideration. It ranked 100 acts, and as we continued on we extended it to 500. Our eventual intent is to get to 1,000 and at present we now have 567 ranked.

The selection of The Moody Blues, The Cars, Nina Simone, Bon Jovi and Dire Straits to the Hall means that they are removed and newly eligible acts now populate our list. Rankings of existing musicians have been altered based on your comments and votes.

The new top 25 features:

Radiohead takes over the top spot after being ranked #2. They were nominated last year in their first year of eligibility and it was widely speculated that they would get in but it should be only a matter of time.

Kraftwerk returns to the number two rank after being #1 last year. The influential band has been nominated four times (2003, 2013, 2015 & 2017) and was our original number one selection when we put out our first list in 2010.

Jethro Tull holds firm at #3. To the surprise of many, the British Progressive Rock band has never been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame despite being eligible for twenty-five years.

The Smiths also held their spot at #4. This is the third year that they have been ranked this high and they were nominated in 2015 and 2016.

Roxy Music is ranked #5 for the second year in a row. They have been eligible for the Hall since 1997.

MC5 is ranked #6 for the third straight year. They have been nominated the last two years.

Beck closes the Top 25. He was ranked at that last year.

We have another significant retirement in the National Football League as popular Running Back Danny Woodhead announced via Instagram that his professional career was over.

A two time Division II MVP Woodhead went undrafted in 2008 but did sign as a Free Agent with the New York Jets. He would finally crack the main roster in 2009 where he saw limited action but the New England Patriots would sign him after he was cut early into the 2010 season. In New England, he would become a valuable dual threat both in his running and receiving game and he would have 926 Yards from Scrimmage.

Woodhead remained with the Patriots for two more seasons and would score a Touchdown in the Pats Super Bowl XLVI loss to the Giants. He would sign with the San Diego Chargers with whom he would play four seasons, two of which would see him exceed 1,000 Yards from Scrimmage. He would finish his career with the Baltimore Ravens in 2017 and would accumulate 4,936 Yards from Scrimmage and 32 Touchdowns over a 101 Game career.

While Danny Woodhead is unlikely to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame (he is eligible in 2023) he had a fun career and could make the College Football Hall of Fame.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com wish Danny Woodhead the best in his post NFL career.
