Not in Hall of Fame News

Carlton Fisk: DUI

Oct 25, 2012
Written by
The more I work on this site, the more I realize that once you hit the Hall of Fame generally the only time these beloved athletes get into the news is when they either: A: Die. Or B: Do something stupid. Hall of Fame Catcher, Carlton Fisk was best known for his baseball skill and specifically the Home Run he hit in Game 6 for Boston in the 1975 World Series (or maybe more so for the dance he did to will the ball fair). This week Fisk is known for a DUI arrest after being caught asleep behind the…

RIP: Mike Graham

Oct 20, 2012
Written by
The world of professional wrestling lost another of its own as Mike Graham was found today at the age of 61. Graham was the son of legendary promoter, Eddie Graham, and as such spent the bulk of his time competing in Florida. Graham won the majority of his titles in his father’s promotion, and this was not a case of nepotism as the Mike was an excellent technical wrestler who would later become an agent in trainer in other promotions. Thanks Mike for the memories, and I am going to find some classic matches of his in the Sunshine State.

Oops... Paul Kariya Eligible

Oct 12, 2012
Written by
We apologize….we spend our days thinking about Halls of Fame and the perpetual ranking of our sections. However, we have realized we made a horrible error. In 2011, Paul Kariya retired after sitting out a season due to concussion symptoms. Initially, we had him pegged to be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2014 as the Hall will declare someone eligible three years after their professional career is over. However, as Kariya’s last pro game was in 2010 (despite retiring a year later) he is eligible for 2013, and should have been included in our hockey revisions. We have…

The world of football lost another legend when Alex Karras passed away today at the age of 77. The former Detroit Lion had been battling a myriad of ailments over the past few years which included dementia, stomach cancer and kidney failure, and his passing had been expected for some time. Although he was understandably frail at the time, Karras was first known on the gridiron for his punishing strength and fear he put in opposing Quarterbacks. He was the anchor of an excellent Lions Defensive Line and a member of the 1960’s All Decade Team. As popular as he…
