Jann Wenner booted from the Rock and Roll HOF Board of Directors
Sep 18, 2023
Written by Committee Chairman 
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has severed ties with Jann Wenner, who was the mastermind and co-founder behind the institution, and was still on the Board of Directors. This stemmed from the backlash from comments he made in an interview with the New York Times while promoting his book, where he criticized black female artists. The statement was very direct: “Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation." Ouch! In the Times interview, he was pressed on why he only profiled white male rockers, and he retorted…

Sep 4 Update: Notinhalloffame MLB Cup Standings.
Sep 11, 2023
Written by Committee Chairman 
It is with great pleasure that we continue the third annual Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Season Cup, and let us explain how this works: With every single regular season game, we anointed the best five players in the game with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. We knew the following: - The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can…
