The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1988 Semi-Final VOTE

1988 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS:

Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the years up to 1987.

For “1988,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1982. We also follow the structure in which 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 were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next week, they will choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.

32 votes were cast, with the top 15 advancing.

This is for the “Modern Era”

We will post the Class of 1988 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project next Saturday.

Thank you to all who contributed. If you want to be part of this project, please let us know!

The Seattle Mariners to retire Randy Johnson's number 51

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB.  Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the Seattle Mariners have announced that they will retire Randy Johnson’s #51 during the 2026 Season.

The event will take place on May 2 during their home game.

Johnson’s career began in Montreal, but he was traded during his second season (1989) to the Mariners, where he played ten seasons before the Mariners traded him (he was set to become a free agent after the season) to the Houston Astros for their playoff run.  “The Big Unit” became a superstar in the Emerald City, earning five All-Stars, a Cy Young, four Strikeout Titles, and an ERA Title.  Statistically, Johnson had a 130-74 record with 2,162 Strikeouts.

Johnson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Randy Johnson for his impending honor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The St. Louis Blues name three new names to their franchise Hall of Fame

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB.  Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the St. Louis Blues have announced their three-man Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

The Blues Hall will be joined by Alexander Steen, Al Arbour, and Barret Jackman in a ceremony on January 12.  They will be honoured the following night during their home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Alexander Steen was traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2008-09 Season, and he remained with the Blues until he retired in 2020.  The Forward scored 496 Points for St. Louis and was part of their 2019 Stanley Cup Championship Team.  He is currently in the Blues front office and will be the team’s General Manager in 2026.

Al Arbour was a grizzled and bespectacled 35-year-old veteran defenseman when he was allocated to the expansion St. Louis Blues, where he played four years and served as their first Captain.  In the first three seasons, the Blues reached the Stanley Cup Finals, and at times, he served as a player/coach.  He would later enter the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder for his work as the Head Coach of the New York Islanders, which led to four consecutive Stanley Cups. 

Barret Jackman played 13 of his 14 seasons with the Blues, where he won the 2003 Calder Trophy.   The stay-at-home Defenseman scored 181 Points for St. Louis.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the incoming members of the St. Louis Blues Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melbet Pakistan | Account and Payment Security

Safety and Security Features in Melbet Pakistan

For players from Pakistan, security at Melbet is primarily a matter of account access and fund safety. The online platform is designed so that the main risks are addressed automatically: logging into your profile, managing funds, and monitoring activity are all done according to clear rules, without the need to constantly contact support or manually configure security settings.

How Melbet Protects the Accounts of Players from Pakistan

For Melbet Pakistan, account protection is not a one-time setting, but rather monitoring how the profile is used under normal conditions. The system relies on the usual actions of a specific user and only reacts when behaviour changes dramatically.

Logging into an account is not limited to checking the username and password. The device, connection method and general behaviour during authorisation are also taken into account. As long as the user logs in as before, there are no restrictions. If the parameters change dramatically, access may be temporarily suspended until confirmation. This helps to filter out random and automatic login attempts.

The main account protection measures at Melbet include:

  • Analysis of login conditions and comparison with previous sessions;
  • Temporary suspension of access in case of unusual login attempts;
  • The ability to independently terminate active sessions and change login details.

If different people use the same account or logins occur from constantly changing conditions, access may be restricted until the circumstances are clarified. Such control reduces the risk of blocking and protects the profile from subsequent problems with withdrawing funds.

Security of Financial Transactions and Payments at Melbet

Pakistani players can top up their accounts through a separate payment interface. Card or wallet details are not stored in the profile and are not used without the user's participation. If the connection is lost or the transaction is not completed correctly, the funds are not credited automatically. The transaction is either cancelled or awaits confirmation, which prevents double debits.

The rules for withdrawing funds are stricter. Requests are only processed for verified accounts, and payments are usually linked to the same details that were used previously. If the withdrawal method changes significantly or new details are provided, the transaction may be stopped for verification.

The information in the account and the payment details are checked separately. Errors are often caused by carelessness, but they are the reason for delays. In such cases, the transaction is suspended until the details are clarified.

In practical terms, the protection of financial transactions at Melbet Pakistan is based on several principles:

  • Money is not credited or debited without a confirmed request;
  • Withdrawals are linked to the payment history of a specific account;
  • Changes in details are verified before the transaction is executed.

This procedure reduces the risk of losing funds and makes financial transactions more understandable for players who often use mobile internet and different devices.

Storage and Confidentiality of Personal Data of Pakistani Citizens

At Melbet Pakistan, personal data is not used "in reserve". It is needed for specific tasks: logging into an account, confirming identity and processing payments. The information does not go beyond these processes and is not used in the gaming sections.

What Data is Actually Used

The profile stores a basic set of information without which the account cannot function properly. This is practical data that allows the account owner to be distinguished from an outsider.

Why Data is Not Collected in One Place

Contacts, login history, and financial activities are processed separately and are not displayed as a single array. Even when logging in from someone else's device, access to all data is not immediately granted.

What Happens When You Change Your Number or Email

If a player changes their phone number, email address or device, the data is updated via confirmation. Old contacts do not remain active automatically, which helps to avoid losing access to the account.

As a result, confidentiality at Mel bet is expressed in the limited use of data and maintaining control over your profile even when conditions change.

Activity Monitoring and Prevention of Suspicious Activity

Activity monitoring at Melbet Pakistan works invisibly to the average player. The operator does not interfere with the standard betting or gaming process if the actions appear normal and do not go beyond the usual use of the account.

The system evaluates the overall picture: frequency of actions, sudden changes in activity, inconsistencies between logins and behaviour within the profile. Suspicious activity most often leads to temporary restrictions or additional verification, rather than immediate blocking.

This is especially relevant for players from Pakistan, as many use mobile networks, VPNs or frequently change devices. Verifications are designed to protect your account and funds, not to complicate access.

Responsible Gaming as part of Melbet's Overall Security System

At Melbet Pakistan, responsible gaming is seen as part of the overall protection of your account and funds. Losing control of time or money often leads to conflict, so self-control tools are built into your profile settings.

The player chooses whether to use the restrictions. They work immediately and are not removed instantly, so that decisions are made calmly and not under the influence of emotions.

As part of responsible gaming at Melbet Pakistan, the following are available:

  • Setting limits on deposits and gaming expenses;
  • Temporary restrictions on account activity;
  • The option to pause use of the platform completely.
Overall, the security system at Melbet Pakistan is built around practical tasks: protecting access to accounts, eliminating errors when working with money, and maintaining control over players' personal data. This approach reduces the risk of loss of access, financial failures and conflicts, allowing players from Pakistan to use the service as usual without constant checks and complicated settings.
