Former Football HOFers to have a say on who gets in?
Sep 27, 2015

The Pro Football Hall of Fame might just be mixing it up a bit.
Currently, a the 46 member selection committee is made up of a media member representing each NFL team, a member chosen by the Pro Football Writers of America and thirteen at large delegates.
According to Pro-Football Talk, this is about to change.
They have reported that there will be an announced change that will have modifications that would allow current Pro Football Hall of Fame members to be a part of the election process.
What those are?
At present, we have no idea, but it was implied that this change could take affect as soon as this or next year.
The question that we here at Notinhalloffame.com ask is two fold:
First, just how will this work and when will we find out?
Second, will it allow the football players similar power like past Baseball Players who are on the Veteran’s Committee who have inducted very few players into the Hall?
Either way, it will be interesting and we are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next!

Jason Richardson Retiring. HOF Credentials?
Sep 26, 2015

Jason Richardson has announced on his Facebook page that he will be calling it a career in Professional Basketball citing that he was choosing “his family and health” over the game.
Richardson was a star at Michigan State and as a freshman was part of the Spartans 2000 NCAA Championship. He would receive far more playing time the year after and would take them to another Final Four appearance, though Michigan State would not repeat as champions, though Richardson would be named First Team Big Ten.
The Shooting Guard would declare for the draft shortly thereafter and was selected fifth overall by the Golden State Warriors, and would quickly become a fan favorite with his dunks, energetic play and positive attitude. He would become a two-time Slam Dunk Champion, though that would be as far as he would go on NBA All Star Weekend as he was never named to an All Star Team Still as a Warrior, Jason Richardson had his best seasons where he would twice exceed 21 Points per Game and a PER over 19.
Richardson would make his way to Charlotte in the 2007-08 season and would lead the National Basketball Association in three point field goals, a statistic he is currently ranked sixteenth overall all time. Richardson would continue to play for Phoenix, Orlando and Philadelphia.
While Richardson would have a productive career, the fact that he is was never an All Star and never really played for a good team on the professional level makes it unlikely for him to reach the Pro Hall of Fame, though we do see him making the Notinhalloffame.com list for Basketball in the lower half.
