The 76 Football Bowl Subdivision Players are: Morten Anderson: Michigan State Place Kicker, 1978-81 Erick Anderson: Michigan Linebacker, 1988-91 Michael Bishop:…

We will get there I promise. We are looking to set up in the future a greatest players list for every major North American Sports team, and along with that a look at how they treat their past stars via retired numbers, franchise hall of fames, rings of honor etc. Once that is done, the college ranks won’t be far behind, and as such when an athletic conference such as the Mid-American Conference adds to their Hall of Fame, it is news to us. Last night the 2015 Class was officially inducted in Cleveland, Ohio, and the most recognizable name…

Former Harlem Globetrotter and Basketball Hall of Famer, Marques Haynes, died today at the age of 89 of natural causes in Plano, Texas. Haynes was regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest dribblers in basketball history, having been estimated at being able to dribble six times per second, but that was not all he could do on the court as he was regarded as a great basketball player. Marques Haynes would join the Harlem Globetrotters in 1947 and emerge as the team’s marquee attraction. Haynes would stay with the team until 1953, but not to join the…

The NASCAR Hall of Fame has announced the new members of their latest Hall of Fame Class and the relatively new Hall is continues its expansion with class and prestige. The class (in our eyes anyway) is headlined by Bobby Isaac, who we had ranked at #2 on our last list. Isaac is a posthumous induction after passing away at the age of 45 from a heart attack. He had 37 Sprint Cup Wins. Terry Labonte, who for many is the headliner of this year’s class, will join Isaac. Labonte was the Sprint Series Champion in both 1984 and 1996. …
