The one that we have done this time is revising the Detroit Tigers up to accomplishments up to the end of 2016 season.In this particular case, we did not just adjust everything based on what transpired in 2015. The way in which we determine our baseball lists are as follows: Sabremetric tallies while with that team, mostly WAR. Traditional metrics and how they finished in their respective league overall.

Committee Chairman
Well, we have another sudden retirement worth talking discussing.13 days after he signed a one year contract with the Buffalo Bills, Wide Receiver Anquan Boldin has announced his retirement from professional football so that he focus on his humanitarian efforts. He had this to say in a statement to ESPN:"Football has afforded me a platform throughout my career to have a greater impact on my humanitarian work, and at this time, I feel drawn to make the larger fight for human rights a priority. My life's purpose is bigger than football."How can you not respect that? Especially considering how much…

Nugent Vs Crosby?
Aug 18, 2017
Written by
Committee Chairman
We love a good feud…especially when it is over the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.While it was always safe to assume that Ted Nugent and David Crosby were never likely to share a stage, it is certainly a lot more likely now.Recently, Nugent stated that his omission from the Rock Hall stemmed solely from his participation with the National Rifle Association. When a fan asked Crosby on Twitter as to whether that was the reason why the Motor City Madman was omitted his response was not exactly kind:“No the asshole just isn’t good enough”You didn’t think Nugent would let…

Ted Nugent speaks about the Rock Hall
Aug 13, 2017
Written by
Committee Chairman
Is Ted Nugent a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer?If you ask the Motor City Madman, he would certainly say yes but his association with the NRA is why he has been omitted.This was essentially what he said when he was interviewed by Albany Q103:“Jan Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone and the boss hog at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he hates freedom, he hates the Second Amendment, he hates me, because I’m on the Board of Directors – quite proudly – of the National Rifle Association…so that’s the only reason I’m not in the Rock and Roll…

Committee Chairman
With another day passing, we have another significant retirement to talk about.In a fitting, yet sponsored post from Kingsford charcoal, the 300 plus pound Nose Tackle, Vince Wilfork announced his retirement from the National Football League. Mostly known for his lengthy run (11 seasons) with the New England Patriots, Wilfork went on a four year run from 2009 to 2012 where he was chosen for the Pro Bowl. This is in addition to a selection in 2007 and four appearances on All-Pro squads. He is also a two time Super Bowl Champion with New England, earning a ring in 2004…
