The Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project: 1979 Preliminary VOTE
Jun 07, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
1979 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the first 31 years thus far. For “1979,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1973. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25…
RIP: Jim Marshall

Committee Chairman
We lost a great one today. Former Minnesota Vikings Defensive End Jim Marshall passed away at the age of 87. A National Champion at Ohio State, Marshall left college early to play professionally in Canada for a year and was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1960. That stint would also last a year, as he was dealt to the Vikings in 1961, and it was there that he became a superstar. Marshall went on to start the next 270 Games for the Vikings, setting a since-broken record of 283 Games Played. A member of the famed “Purple People Eaters”,…
NIHOF MLB 2025 Cup Standings: Week 9, JUNE 2
Jun 03, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the best five players with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. We know 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 amass Cup points more easily than elite…
The College Football Hall of Fame tweaks its coaching requirements
Jun 02, 2025
Written by
Committee Chairman
The College Football Hall of Fame has made a minor change to its eligibility requirements for Coaches, and while it seems like a minor one, it could see a major addition. The Hall announced that it is reducing the winning percentage for Coaches from .600 to .595 starting in 2027. That may not seem like it would have much of an impact, but this appears to target one man in particular: Mike Leach, who had a winning percentage of .596 (158-107) over his tenure at Texas Tech, Washington State, and Mississippi State. He passed away in 2022 at the age…

Thomas was Denver’s 22nd Overall Pick in 2010,…

1978 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project Class. Here we are! Again!! If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946?

We then asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3…
