It’s quite the day for us as the Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their 25 Semi-Finalists.
It was announced that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Cynthia Robinson passed away yesterday at the age of 71 after succumbing to cancer.
While Robinson may not be a name you know, you are familiar with the band she was in, Sly and the Family Stone, where she played the trumpet a rarity for women at the time, and would become the first female trumpeter inducted into the Hall of Fame.
A co-founder of the multi-ethnic and musically diverse band, Robinson was not just a background performer. She was a pioneer whose horn hooked you in and helped drive the band to three number one albums. It was Robinson’s voice that you hear in the opening to one of their first hits, “Dance to the Music”.
Cynthia would later play in Larry Graham’s (who was also in Sly and the Family Stone) band, Graham Central Station and played with the Family Stone as recently as last year on tour.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Cynthia Robinson at this time.

Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups to be honoured by the Detroit Pistons
Nov 25, 2015

Not in Hall of Fame News
Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sports team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.
As such it is noteworthy to us that the Detroit Pistons will be announcing that the club will be honoring the jerseys of Ben Wallace and Chauncey Bilups through the 2015-16 Season.
Specifically, Wallace will be honored on January 16 in a game against the Golden State Warriors and Billups will be honored in a game against the Denver Nuggets in February 10.
Both Billups and Wallace were members of the Pistons 2004 NBA Championship Team and will have their number retired by the team,
Ben Wallace arrived in Detroit in 2000 and would make all of his four All Star Games while playing for the Pistons. He would spend more than half of his career in Motown and the tall man would average a double digit Rebound figure in Detroit and would also put up stats that would gave him four NBA Defensive Player of the Year Results.
Big Ben would also post five season as an All-NBA Player (three as Second Team and two as Third Team) and was clearly a defensive standout in Detroit.
Billups would also become a four time All Star and a two time Second Team Defensive Player and three time post season All-NBA player as a Piston. He would be named the MVP of the NBA Finals in 2004.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace and the Detroit Pistons at this time.

Rod Brind'Amour enters the Philadelphia Flyers HOF

As such it is noteworthy to us that the Philadelphia Flyers officially inducted former forward, Rod Brind’Amour to their franchise’s Hall of Fame.
Brind’Amour played nine seasons and suited up for 633 Games in Philadelphia, scoring 601 Points, which is in the top ten in franchise history. He would also score another 51 Points for Philadelphia in the playoffs and was a big part of the Flyers 1997 Stanley Cup appearance. He also holds the team record for the most consecutive games played with 484 and would represent the team at the All Star Game in 1992.
While he put up good numbers in Philadelphia, a trade to Carolina would see Brind’Amour win the Stanley Cup and the Frank J. Selke Trophy twice as the NHL’s top defensive forward.
Brind’Amour is ranked #52 on our current Notinhalloffame Hockey Hall of Fame countdown.
