Not in Hall of Fame News
It is always onward and upward for us at Notinhalloffame.com, and as such we wanted to take the time to update our Football Futures section. This is the portion of the website where you have the opportunity to let us know your opinion as whether retired players who are not yet eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame should be enshrined in Canton. This process also helps us establish where these players should be ranked once eligible.
We already had the Football Futures from 2016, 2017 and 2018 up, and recently we have updated our 2017 Football Futures Section.
Next, of course will be the following year as we are updating the 2018 Football Futures Section.
First, here are the 2018 Football Future candidates who had already been uploaded:
Antoine Winfield, a Cornerback who made three Pro Bowls with the Minnesota Vikings.
Brian Urlacher, a Linebacker synonymous with the Chicago Bears and was a four time First Team All Pro Selection.

Steve Hutchinson, an Offensive Lineman who was a seven time Pro Bowler and two time NFL Alumni Offensive Lineman of the Year.

One thing that we have to admire about the Poker Hall of Fame is that they don’t waste a lot of time. Last month, they announced their Finalists and on November 6, the induction will take place for those selected will take place at Binion’s Gambling Hall.
As you may have guessed, that selection took place today.
Jennifer Harman and John Juanda will become the 49th and 50th members of the Poker Hall of Fame. Two days after their induction, the World Series of Poker will take place at the Rio Casino.
Harman, a native of Reno, is one of two women to win a World Series of Poker bracelet twice. The 50 year old sat at the final table at the World Series twelve times.
Juanda is originally from Indonesia and now makes his home in Marina del Rey, California. The 44 year old won five WSOP bracelets and sat at the final table thirty times.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the new inductees to the Poker Hall of Fame and the Hall in general for their swift practices…much like the game itself!

RIP: Flip Saunders

A sad announcement took place in the world of professional basketball as Flip Saunders passed away at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer.
Saunders, who played his college ball at the University of Minnesota, would immediately begin a coaching career following his stint with the Golden Gophers. He would work his was up the ranks where he would become a Head Coach in the CBA and work his way to becoming the Head Coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995, a position he would hold for a decade.
He would take Minnesota to multiple playoff appearances, but never deep though with the exception of Kevin Garnett, he really did not have the horses to accomplish that. He was let go in 2005 and Saunders would go to the Detroit Pistons for a few seasons and continue to win games there. After being let go from Detroit, he would coach the Washington Wizards for a few seasons until he returned to Minnesota prior to the 2014/15 season.
Saunders would shortly be diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and would delegate many of his duties to his assistants though there was a lot of belief that he would be returning to active duty soon. This was not to be as Flip Saunders dies shortly after the announcement of his Cancer diagnosis.
Flip Saunders retires with a .524 Head Coaching Record and a reputation as being one of the good guys in the game.
He will certainly be missed and we here at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the friends and family of Flip Saunders at this time.

It was announced this weekend that former five time Stanley Cup Champion, Jimmy Roberts passed away from a long battle with cancer at the age of 75.
Roberts would first join the Habs in the 1963/64 season and in the following two seasons would help Montreal win two Stanley Cups. The Torontonian would be taken by the St, Louis Blues in the 1967 Expansion Draft, but he would return to the big dance helping the expansion team make (though lose) the Stanley Cup Finals in the franchise’s first three years of existence.
The defenceman would be traded back to the Montreal Canadians and would again help the team to win three more Stanley Cups in 1973, 1975 and 1976. He would score 320 Points in total during his NHL career.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Jimmy Roberts at this time.
