On a recent TSN periscope chat with former multi-time WWE Heavyweight Champion, Bret Hart, a lot of candid comments were made, which included his opinions on his youngest brother, Owen Hart and the fact that he is not in the WWE Hall of Fame. I’m hoping next year at WrestleMania that he’ll be inducted and I’ll be really sorely disappointed if he’s not. It’s really overdue.” Many have speculated that the omission of Owen to the Hall is largely due t his widow, Martha, who has been very vocal about her dislike of the WWE and has previously been in…

One of the best dunkers ever is no more. Former fourteen-year NBA veteran, Darryl Dawkins passed away yesterday at the age of 58 from a heart attack.

Dawkins was a very popular figure on very good Sixers teams. While he was never an All Star, Dawkins had a 12.0 Points per Game average and a…

Committee Chairman
Perhaps it did not get the attention it should have but former New York Giant and two-time Super Bowl Champion, Osi Umenyiora retired this week. Umenyiora, a former second round draft choice out of Troy, would shine the brightest when the pressure was on and Umenyiora would make two Pro Bowl Teams along with a pair of All Pro Selections. The Linebacker would record 85 Quarterback Sacks, including three seasons where he recorded two digit Sack campaigns. The Nigerian born player was a major force in the G-Men’s last Super Bowl win and while he is unlikely to be honored…

Rather than only mention the new entries, we are listing all of the “TBD” players who are currently in that section. The players listed are as follows: Alex Tanguay, a member of the 2001 Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche and…

Committee Chairman
Only a couple of weeks ago, the Football Hall of Fame officially inducted last year’s Senior Nominee, Mick Tingelhoff. This year, the Hall returns to two Senior Nominees, and while we are upset that former Green Bay Packer, Jerry Kramer is not one of them, we can’t say that we have a lot of issues with the two they did select. Former Oakland Raiders Quarterback, Ken Stabler, who died earlier this year has been named as a Senior Finalist. “The Snake” had been a popular choice for many in terms of long time omissions for the Hall, and was himself…
