Not in Hall of Fame News

A few weeks ago, World Wrestling Entertainment inducted the Class of 2014 to their Hall of Fame.  As is tradition with our website, once a Class is inducted, we move on to the rankings of the next possible class, which will again come to life the night before Wrestlemania. Two of our top ten (The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “The Snake” Roberts) were selected and once again the top of our rankings will see a significant change.  As always, votes and comments made by all of you affect the rankings, and we continue to solicit your input for the future.…

In what we thought was an interesting comment, Green Bay Packers President, Mark Murphy mentioned to WHBL Radio that he wanted to retire former Quarterback, Brett Favre’s #4 last fall.  According to Murphy, plans fell through when the High School team that Favre was coaching in Mississippi had a deep post season run, which kept him occupied.  Murphy also stated that he has a good relationship with the former “gunslinger” which is worth noting as his “will he or won’t he retire” caused turmoil for the Packers organization and his departure was not as clean as either side would have…

Paul Stanley isn’t done trashing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just yet.  The co-leader of KISS who was just inducted into the Cleveland based institution after a fifteen-year wait, took to Twitter to discuss his issues with the ceremony.  In a Tweet to Rolling Stone, Stanley quipped: “Our treatment at the RRHOF confirmed my worst suspicions.  Wenner and the rest are spineless weasels” He continued with a direct tweet to Jann Wenner, on how he felt like unwanted guests: “Jann Wenner & his RRHOF made sure to treat us as uninvited guests. No Passes. No schedule and on.…

So kids, what ten things did we learn from this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony? 1.  Gene Simmons can act humble if he really wants to, though we wonder how long it will be before they cash in on selling the tablecloth and other props from their table at the ceremony. 2.  Bruce Springsteen should have (and almost said as much) that his backing band should have been inducted with him years earlier. 3.  We also learned that based on the crowd reaction, the Hall knew full well that they could cash in twice by inducting them…

The Relief Pitcher in Baseball still struggles for respect amongst the traditionalists of the game as only five Relievers (Hoyt Wilhelm, Rollie Fingers, Bruce Sutter, Goose Gossage and Dennis Eckersley) have entered Cooperstown, but we expect that two more will enter in the upcoming years; at least we think that Major League Baseball thinks that will happen based on the revamping of their post season awards. The top reliever in the American League will win the Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year Award.  This is to honor the recently retired Rivera, who spent his entire career with the…
