The New Orleans Saints add two more to their HOF

Not in Hall of Fame News
Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sorts team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.
As such it is news to us that last night the New Orleans Saints inducted two new members into their Hall of Fame.
Kick/Punt Return Specialist, Tyrone Hughes played for the Saints from 1993 to 1996 and in each season he led the National Football League in a return category. Hughes was the Punt Return Yards leader in ’93 and in 1994 to 1996 he would be the league leader in Kick Return Yards. In total, Hughes accumulated 6,777 Return Yards and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1993.
Joining Hughes is Michael Lewis who played for the franchise from 2001 to 2006. Like Tyrone Hughes, Lewis was primarily a returner who in 2002 led the NFL in Punt Return Yards, Kick Return Yards and All-Purpose Yards and not surprisingly was named a First Team All Pro and Pro Bowl Selection that season. Overall as a Saint, would tally 7,955 All-Purpose Yards.
The addition of Hughes and Lewis to the Saints Hall of Fame is also noteworthy as both are natives of the Crescent City.
We here at Notinhallofame.com would like to congratulate the newest class to the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.

This isn’t meant to be scientific.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Interview with Former Denver Bronco, Orson Mobley

Interviews
To get to the play in the Super Bowl you obviously have the necessary skill to first compete in the National Football League and the luck to be on a competitive team. Former Tight End Orson Mobley not only played in the Super Bowl for the Denver Broncos, he was at the big dance three times.
As a Professional Football player, Mobley caught 84 passes for 1,019 Yards with four Touchdowns and as a member of three AFC Championship Teams he had a pro career to be proud of, though it was he accomplished off of the field long after he retired from the gridiron that he is most proud of.
Mobley would be suspended in 1989 for drug use and would be out of the league the year after and would for years deal with substance abuse issues; a topic he has been open about in interviews, but more importantly with young athletes so that they do not fall into the same pitfalls that befell him when he was young man.

A sad day has happened for basketball fans and more specifically that of the Indiana Pacers as it was announced that 2012 Hall of Fame inductee, Mel Daniels passed away at the age of 71. It is not known at this time how he died, but he did have heart surgery recently.
Daniels starred collegiately for the New Mexico Lobos and was drafted ninth overall in 1967 by the Cincinnati Royals but opted to go to the Minnesota Muskies in the upstart American Basketball Association, where he was also drafted. Daniels was the ABA Rookie of the Year, but business in the Twin Cities was not good and the team moved to Florida and sold the contact to Daniels to the Indiana Pacers.
He would become the rock of a team that would win the ABA Championship in 1970, 1972 and 1973 and would also be named the ABA Most Valuable Player twice. The Center would also lead the league in Rebounds three times. Following the ABA-NBA merger, Daniels would play a season with the New Jersey Nets.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Mel Daniels at this time.
