RIP: Fred Arbanas

It was announced that former Kansas City Chief, Fred Arbanas, passed away at the age of 82. Like many in the early '60s, Fred Arbanas was drafted by both the NFL and the AFL, but usually, those who chose the AFL were drafted higher by the new organization.  This wasn't the case with Arbanas, who was a 7th Round Selection by the Dallas Texans, where the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd Round. No matter, as Arbanas would go on to the All-AFL Team at Tight End.  He was an AFL All-Star as a rookie, and with the Texans, he would help…

Jay Bruce Retires

New York Yankee, Jay Bruce, announced that he is retiring from baseball.  Bruce won a spot as a non-roster invitee, but the 34-year-old struggled this year, with a .118 Batting Average and .466 OPS. Bruce debuted in 2008, where the Outfielder had 21 Home Runs as a rookie, beginning a six-year streak where he blasted at least 20.  An All-Star in 2011 and 2012, Bruce was also a two-time Silver Slugger (2012 & 2013), and was tenth in MVP voting in both of those years.  Bruce was an All-Star again in 2016, the season he was traded to the New York Mets.

This was sudden. LaMarcus Aldridge, who recently signed with the Brooklyn Nets abruptly retired due to issues with his heart.  In his last game, Aldridge experienced an irregular heartbeat, and after consulting with doctors, the former Trail Blazer elected to call it a career. Aldridge was the second overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft from Texas, where he was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.  Taken by Portland, Aldridge showed gradual improvement, going to his first All-Star Game in 2012, and would appear in six more.  A one-time Second Team All-Star, Aldridge averaged over 20 Points per Game seven times,…
Recently we wrote about the retirement of Julian Edelman, who has been the topic of Hall of Fame discussion, as countless publications have prognosticated about his chances.  It has ranged from good to zero, and if we can give our pair of pennies on it, it is this. The New England Patriots Hall of Fame will nominate him, and the voting public will induct him.  When it happens, it should be celebrated by the Patriot fan base, and it will be. As for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we have said often and will say it here bluntly:  Edelman has no chance…
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2021, which comprises of five former players, a coach and contributor.   The new members are: Will Johnson, Linebacker.  Calgary 1989-96 & Saskatchewan 1997.  From Northeast Louisiana, Johnson briefly played for the Chicago Bears, before finding a home with the Calgary Stampeders.  A five-time CFL All-Star, Johnson anchored the team to a win in the 1992 Grey Cup.  Individually, Johnson recorded 99 Sacks over his career, twice leading the league in that stat. Marv Levy, Coach.  Montreal 1973-77.  Before he made himself a legend in Buffalo, Levy led the Montreal Alouettes to two Grey Cup wins…

New England Patriots Wide Receiver, Julian Edelman, has retired.  Edelman, who is 34, played only six Games last year due to chronic knee issues, played all 12 of years in the NFL with the Pats. Edelman’s story is a phenomenal one, as despite being a Quarterback at Kent State, Patriots Head Coach, Bill Belichik saw him as a possible receiver/returner, and as often was the case, he was right.  Edelman was never a Pro Bowl or All-Pro Selection, but he became a regular target of Tom Brady, and would have three 1,000-Yard campaigns, accumulating 6,822 Yards with 36 Touchdowns.  Combined with his Return…

You know that we love our Halls of Fame here…it is kind of in the name! As such, it is interesting to us that the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame has announced five new members to their institution.  The Hall is designed to pay tribute to former players who have made lasting contributions to the game of football.  The first Class occurred in 1988. The five inductees are: Patrick Surtain: Surtain went in the 2ndRound (44thOverall) in the 1998 Draft after being the Conference USA Player of the Year.  The Cornerback played 11 seasons, seven with Miami, where he was a three-time Pro…
