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 will expand to 400, and you can comment on and vote on:
The new 301 to 325:
301. Warrick Dunn
302. Levon Kirkland
303. Roddy White
304. Lou Rymkus
305. Kyle Williams
306. Willie Galimore
307. Keith Lincoln
308. Jerry Norton

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football, basketball and hockey lists.
There are only three seasons to draw from in the professional career of Gaynell Tinsley, but it was deemed good enough to get him an All-Decade Selection for the 1930s.
One of the great stars at LSU of the 1930s, Gaynell Tinsley, was a second-round pick in 1937, and he would dazzle as a rookie, where he led the NFL in Receiving Yards with 675, a record at the time. Immediately, Tinsley became one of the NFL’s best receivers, a mantle he held again in 1938, when he ranked second in Receiving Yards (516) but led the league in Receptions. He took 1939 off to focus on Baseball (he played in the minors), but he returned in 1940. That comeback was short-lived as a torn ligament took him out, forcing him to end his season early. He retired after that, but many considered him one of the best receivers of his era.
That fact alone should garner him Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration.
