The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other. The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.
At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:
The new 176 to 200:
176. Dick Barwegan
177. Charley Hennigan
178. Cornell Green
179. Charley Brock
180. Bob Baumhower
161. Tank Younger
182. Buford “Baby” Ray

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.
You don’t expect an NFL career from an undrafted Quarterback from Milton, but Dave Krieg had other ideas.
Although we imagine that Dave Krieg dreamed of throwing footballs in the NFL, it had to seem a million miles away when he was the backup Quarterback at the now-defunct Milton College. Amazingly, he not only made the professional ranks, but he was also there for seventeen years.
For the bulk of his career, Dave Krieg was the starting Quarterback with the Seattle Seahawks. He posted strong numbers at the position each year and was a big part of Seattle's success. Three times, he was named to the Pro Bowl, and he is in the top fifteen all time in many throwing categories. Many of his all-time rankings come from his longevity; however, at no point in Krieg’s career was he a dominant QB. For a ten-year span, Dave Krieg was basically the tenth-best in the league. Sure, he was thought of as good, but without that “great” label, it is hard to put him in the Hall despite his impressive career numbers.
