gold star for USAHOF

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 251 to 275:

251. Larry Brooks
252. Jon Morris
253. Ed Danowski
254. Dennis Harrah
255. Jim David
256. Ken Gray
257. William “Pudge” Heffelfinger
258. Jeff Van Note
259. Troy Vincent
260. Frankie Albert
261. Charles Follis
262. NaVorro Bowman
263. Jessie Armstead
264. Ray Wietcha
265. Clem Daniels
266. Henry Thomas
267. Josh Sitton
268. Randy Cross
269. Travis Frederick*
270. Bill Lee
271. James Farrior
272. Lawrence McCutcheon
273. Rich Saul
274. Chris Samuels
275. Bud McFadin

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

280. Bud McFadin

Bud McFadin had an excellent career in pro football, yet when it comes to Hall of Fame discussions, his name never comes up.  Perhaps it should, but we get why it doesn't.

A versatile player who was equally adept as an Offensive Lineman or playing Defensive Tackle and Linebacker, McFadin played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1951 to 1956 and was a Pro Bowler in the last two years.  He was accidentally shot in the stomach, and shortly after, he decided to focus on his business rather than playing football, but when the AFL began four years later, he came back to the Denver Broncos, and he was a First Team All-Pro from 1960 to 1962.  He would play until 1966 after three years with the Houston Oilers.
