RIP Lee Roy Selmon

Our apologies for being late in recognizing the passing of one of the great Defensive Ends of all time, Lee Roy Selmon.  The Hall of Famer was the bright spot in bad Tampa Bay Buccaneer teams, and was the first man honored by the franchise.  He will be missed.

Fred Taylor Retires

11, 695 Career Rushing Yards is an exceptional total and this will put Fred Taylor at number 15 All Time in that category.  Sounds impressive right?  It is, but does that make him a Hall of Famer?  We may have the Fred McGriff of the NFL, where as Fred Taylor racked up solid stats, so did a pile of other Running Backs.  Taylor did the bulk of pro career in Jacksonville, which is hardly the mecca for Professional Football.  Only one time did Taylor make a Pro Bowl, which again speaks to the elite group of Running Backs who he played at the same time as.  Fred Taylor will make our list when eligible...we just don't know where we will put him.

Chipper Jones hit his 450th Homer....

Have to admit; we forgot about Chipper Jones this year.  He just belted his 450th Home Run, but it remains to be seen if he can get that magical 500 number.  If he wraps up his career soon, did he do enough for Cooperstown?

RIP: Mike Flanagan

Today we lost former Cy Young Award winner, Mike Flanagan who passed away at the age of 59.  Flanagan won the American League Cy Young in 1979 and finished his career with 167 career wins.  He may have never been a serious threat for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but he is a member of the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame.  Flanagan was only 59 years old.
