Our All Time Top 50 Baltimore Ravens have been revised to reflect the 2025 Season

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Ravens.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Ravens went 12-5, made the playoffs, but were bounced in the second round.  Despite the season's success and the franchise's relative brevity, there were no new entrants, but multiple elevations in the top 50. 

As always, we present our top five, which has seen a change in that ranking.

1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
3. Jonathan Ogden
4. Terrell Suggs
5. Lamar Jackson

You can find the entire list here. 

Jackson moved up to #5 from #6 after another phenomenal season.

Of note, Kicker Justin Tucker, who was waived after the season, was unable to move from #9.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey climbed to #14 from #21.

Tackle Ronnie Stanley also moved up seven spots.  He is now ranked #19.

Linebacker Roquan Smith, who was chosen for his third straight First Team All-American, rocketed from #41 to #27.

Tight End Mark Andrews went to #30 from #32.

Defensive Tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, who went to the Pro Bowl last season, shot to #31 from #43.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

 

RIP: Dave Parker

It is a sad day for baseball fans.

“The Cobra,” Dave Parker, passed away at the age of 74.  He was scheduled to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame next month on the 27th.  His induction will now be posthumous. 

Parker debuted for the Pittsburgh Pirates and quickly became one of the top players in the game.  A seven-time All-Star, Parker won the National League MVP in 1978 and finished in the top four five times.  Parker also won two Batting Titles and propelled the Pirates to win the 1979 World Series. 

His cocaine use hampered Parker’s career, as this likely delayed his Hall of Fame induction.  Parker was passed over on all fifteen of the Baseball Writers’ ballots, and on three Senior Ballots before he was chosen last December.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends, and family of Dave Parker.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1980 Preliminary VOTE

1980 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 34 years thus far.

For “1980,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1974. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters will be asked to select 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and then choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process on a weekly basis until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots. 

30 Votes took place.

This is for the “Modern Era”

How to Choose the Right Tech for Online Gaming

Online gaming offers more than fun; it’s an all-around experience. However, what happens in your interaction is strongly influenced by the technology you have. If you want to get rewards or just rest, setting up the right environment will help a lot. We will go over some tips to help you find the right gaming technology.

Understand Your Gaming Style

Ask yourself who you are as a gamer before making any technology purchases. 

Are you interested in games with lots of action, interesting stories, or easy games you play while traveling? Which programming language you decide on will shape your technology stack. 

Kinds of Gaming Styles:

  • Casual Gaming – You can play casual games quickly, usually on your mobile device.
  • Competitive Gaming– In competitive games, speed responses and powerful equipment are very important.
  • Story-based Gaming– Immersive gamers surround the player in the story with great graphics and sound. 
  • Multiplayer Gaming– Online multiplayer needs both fast internet and steady game hardware.

By choosing what games you like, you can pick the right gear without buying more than you need.

Choose the Right Device

The heart of your setup is your gaming device.

Common Gaming Devices

  • Smartphones – For mobile and casual gaming, smartphones are, without a doubt, a strong choice.
  • Gaming laptops – Equipped with mighty processors and the ability to be carried around, gaming laptops are definitely portable.
  • Desktops – If you need excellent performance, choose a desktop.
  • Consoles –If you like to play games only available on consoles or games you control with controllers, a console is just the thing for you.

All offer certain pros and cons. If you’re out on the road a lot, mobile access might work better for you. If you enjoy games with intense graphics, a gaming PC, as a matter of fact, will be a good buy.

Don’t Overlook Accessories and Apps

With good accessories, your chances of winning go up. Good apps can help make shopping even more enjoyable.
Points to Factor in:

  • Buy a gaming mouse or controller that can respond quickly.
  • Listen using headphones that have surround sound capabilities.
  • You may want to try using a laptop cooling pad.
  • Use tools that can actually help you to the fullest. 

One of the best examples of money-making gaming apps is the daman game app, which offers a range of money-making games, so it is not just about having fun. You can easily play it on your phone, and it provides a reliable place for both fun and prizes.

Focus on Performance Essentials

Device type does not change the fact that performance is key. Problems like sluggish gameplay, blurry pictures, or sudden crashes can lower the fun.

Points to Toy With:

  • Processor (CPU) – Slower CPU means the game will appear slower
  • Graphics processing unit (GPU) – to handle advanced visuals carefully
  • RAM –Multitasking is faster when you have a lot of RAM.
  • Storage – SSDs can transfer data much faster.

Buy hardware that is compatible with the games you want to play. Always review the upgrade possibilities before buying a computer.

Finding the right tech can make your gaming experience even better. Your style should be matched by the best device, performance, and app choices you can make. Smart choices, safety first, and use your technology to get the most out of your trip.
