Radiohead is now eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame though based on a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine they didn’t seem to care.

In a lengthy interview with the music publication, the band had the following reactions to the possibility of being inducted next year.

Phil Selway: "It's a bit like having the free bus pass in the UK when you reach a certain age. Blimey. Have we got to that point? God knows [if we'll go]. We'd have to sit down and talk about it, but it's probably not at the top of my list of things to do. But who knows? I don't know."

Jonny Greenwood: "I don't care. Maybe it's a cultural thing that I really don't understand. I mean, from the outside it looks like ... it's quite a self-regarding profession anyway. And anything that heightens that just makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

Ed O'Brien: "I don't want to be rude about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because for a lot of people it means something, but culturally I don't understand it. I think it might be a quintessential American thing. Brits are not very good at slapping ourselves on the back. It seems very show-biz and I'm not very show-biz. We haven't even been asked. I don't want to be rude. But if you ask me what I'd rather be doing that night, I'd rather be sitting at home in front of the fire or going to a gig. I realized years ago that I didn't like award ceremonies. You walk in there and you feel self-conscious. It's just really uncomfortable. Wherever there is media there seem to be a real level of bullshit. It just feels non-authentic to us."

Thom Yorke: "It wouldn't be the first place ... don't ask me things like that. I always put my foot in my mouth."

Colin Greenwood: "I'd be grateful if we got in. Look at the other people that have been inducted. I don't know if everyone else will go though. It might be me just doing bass versions of everything like, 'Come on, you know this one!' I'd have to play the bass part to 'Creep' five times."

Considering that Jann Wenner, the owner of Rolling Stone is the founder of the Rock Hall it had to be expected that this would be asked of Radiohead in an interview.  It is also expected that the critical darlings of music will get in on their first try.

For what it is worth, we have them ranked at #2 on our latest list of those to consider for the Rock and Roll Hall.
Once we finish our Top 50 players for each team (and yes, it will happen), the next look is to tackle how each organization honors their former players and executives.

As such it is news to us that the Anaheim Angels have announced that Vladimir Guerrero will become the 15th member of the franchise’s Hall of Fame in a ceremony that will take place on August 26.

Guerrero was with the Angels for six seasons joining the Angels as a free agent prior to the 2004 season and Anaheim was rewarded immediately as “The Impaler” but forth the best season of his career winning the American League MVP Award with 206 Hits, 39 Home Runs, 126 RBI and a .337 Batting Average.

While this was the “only” MVP that Guerrero would win, he would finish third in voting twice more as an Angel.  His overall tenure with Anaheim would see him collect 1,034 Hits with 173 Home Runs and a Slash Line of .319/.381/.546 and was an All Star and Silver Slugger four times.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Vladimir Guerrero for earning this honor.
We have a new member of the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2017 as it has been announced that Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba will be going into the Hall as a member of the Pioneer Wing.  Sakuraba joins previously announced Maurice Smith, Joe Silva (Contributor) and Urijah Faber (Modern Era).

While Sakuraba competed predominantly in Pride, he did win the UFC Ultimate Japan Tournament two decades ago.  Sakuraba would truly establish his legend by defeating Royce Gracie in a ninety minute contest.  He would be dubbed the “Gracie Hunter” and would defeat three other members of the famed jiu-jitsu clan.

Sakuraba would also defeat Ken Shamrock, Vitor Belfort, Kevin Randleman and Quentin Jackson.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Kazushi Sakuraba fro achieving this incredible honor.

To become eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame a player has to be named a First Team All American and be ten years removed from their last college season.  That season must also have occurred in the last fifty years.

Notably, there are also 98 more players and 31 Coaches from the FBS level or below who are also on the ballot.

We will certainly be watching to see who will be chosen!
