If Brett Favre is indeed retired, he is going out with a whimper instead of a bang.  Stat wise, this has been the grizzled veteran's worst year ever and this coupled with his numerous injuries and texting scandals it is likely a year he wants to forget.  It can be easily debated that Favre made a mistake coming back.  Regardless, Brett Favre retires holding the bulk of the NFL Quarterback records and is usually in the discussion for the top ten QBs of all time.  There should be little doubt that when eligible, he will vault to number one on our football list, but will only be there one year as he is a surefire first ballot inductee.

Mr. Favre, please stay retired and enjoy the next phase of your life, you have nothing left to prove on the field.

With the induction of Dino Ciccarelli it is time to look ahead towards 2011 and the next batch of eligible Hockey players.  Needless to say, Dino is off the list, but we welcome three new men to our illustrious notinhalloffame.com Hockey list.

Eligible for next year's class and entering our list for the first year is famed Goaltender, Ed Belfour, and the tall lanky Center who made his name known as a Canuck, Trevor Linden.  As we much as we have mad respect for Linden, the odds are that the Hockey Hall of Fame will elude him.  Thankfully, he has his number hanging in the Rogers Arena in Vancouver and received a very respectable and deserving post career accolade.   With Ed Belfour, we have a Goalie who has vaulted to our top ten and is our highest ranked netminder.  Could he be a first ballot inductee?  We are not sure either.

Our third addition is the recently deceased Pat Burns, who on three occasions won the Jack Adams Trophy three times.  We did not include Burns as we looked to focus on players (yeah, we know we have Don Cherry at #1), but upon additional reflection we have decided to include him.

Take a look at the revised rankings, and cast a vote or two!

Notinhalloffame.com mourns the loss of Captain Beefheart, who passed away earlier today.  Born, Don Van Vliet, Captain Beefheart was a Avant Garde musician who pushed the boundaries of music and inspired multiple musicians.  Beefheart was our #47 selection, and will likely remain a high ranked act on our list for years to come.  We are going to sit back and listen to Trout Mask Replica and remember a man we consider a legend.

Notinhalloffame mourns the loss of Hall of Fame pitcher, Bob Feller. The legendary hurler  goes down in history as one of the greatest Cleveland Indians of all time and will be missed. His contribution to baseball  will not be forgotten.

Mr. Feller was 92 years old.
