Can You play your way out of the Hall of Fame?

Mar 18, 2012

This is the random question we ask of..... Donovan McNabb. The Vikings Quarterback may have won his virst game in Minnesota, but that was mostly due to Adrian Peterson. Fact is that thus far as a Viking, he has been one of the worst starters in the NFL, and last year he was replaced in Washington in favor of Rex Grossman. Looking back, there are more questions than answers regarding his last two years in Philadelphia. Three years ago, when asked about the Hall of Fame chances of McNabb, most people would have said "better than average". What do they say now?

RIP Al Davis

Published in Not in Hall of Fame News

Football Hall of Famer, Al Davis passed away today at the age of 82. Davis may be remembered solely by younger fans as the goofy looking, eccentric indicidual who may have let the game pass him by, but older fans remember Davis as one of the most powerful figures in Football who helped facilitate the AFL-NFL merger. Davis' Raiders were at one time the "cool" team to cheer for, and their renegade image was essentially that of Davis himself. This is the Al Davis that we will remember today, and somewhere he is putting together a team above saying "just win, baby".

The Importance of Batting Titles

Mar 18, 2012

Published in Not in Hall of Fame News

Generally, we are a very positive website, but we will take a 180 and trash Jose Reyes for the way he bowed out of fully completing for a Batting Title today. Reyes took himself out of today's game after he successfully bunted on base, making it easier for him to win the Batting Crown, thus making us wonder aloud if he had an incentive in his contract for that, and if so, will he buy a set of balls.

Here is are other question. With the increase push on Sabremetrics, will it come soon that is more important to win th On Base Percentage Title? Doesn't yet have the same ring yet does it? For the record, Reyes finished 8th in the OBP race in the NL, 32 points behind Joey Votto of the Reds. Should this hold more importance than it already does, and does winning the Batting Title hold as much weight as it used to? Of course for ths site, we ask how much importance this should hold for the Hall of Fame. For us, and hopefully HOF voters, they will remember how Jose Reyes won his Title today.
