About eight years ago, World Wrestling Entertainment released “The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior”; a DVD that as you can tell from the title was far from flattering. As outspoken and let’s just say strange as the Warrior has been, for a multi-million dollar company to use their resources to bury a former talent was a questionable decision; even if there was some validity to the claims of those who spoke on the production. At that moment, picturing the Ultimate Warrior in the WWE Hall of Fame was as impossible as picturing...well....Bruno Sammartino in the WWE Hall of Fame! We…
It is time to put the nonsense of the Baseball Hall of Fame continuing fiasco behind us (for awhile anyway). Today, the Football Hall of Fame, which continues to do so much right has announced their finalists and we are going to take a quick look at them in order of their ranking on Notinhalloffame.com.#1 Derrick BrooksBrooks moved into our number spot in his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, and there remains little reason to think that he is not going to Canton immediately.#3 Marvin HarrisonHarrison is the top rated Wide Receiver in our eyes and is also…
This is definitely our favorite time of year and one of the days that shows the reason why this website was created. Today, the Baseball Hall of Fame have announced the Class of 2014 and there will be three new members as Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas have all been selected on their first year of eligibility. They will join a Tony LaRussa, Joe Torre and Bobby Cox who have already been selected by the Veterans Committee, making this a loaded class and one that should draw significantly better than the sad sack Class of 2013 which inducted…

RIP: Phil Everly

We have lost another musical legend as Phil Everly passed away at the age of 74 due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Everly was a heavy smoker in his life which attributed to his severe emphysema and bronchitis. He was one half of the Everly Brothers, who were one of the most popular acts of the 1950’s and one of the most unique at the time.The duo mastered two part harmonies and perhaps better than anyone else did at the time combined the Country Sound with the new Rock and Roll style. This gave them a broader appeal than most…
Normally we don’t report on the happenings of the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame, but we thought that the 59th entry was worth noting.Yesterday, at the World Junior Hockey Championships prior to a game in which the host nation, Sweden routed Norway, Mats Sundin was honored as the next member. The Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame is barely three years old, but they have moved quickly to build a Hall of Fame list worth looking at. This marks the “hat trick” for Sundin in regards to Hall of Fame institutions. Sundin was selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in…
Tony Gonzalez played his final game today in the National Football League today, ending what should be a Hall of Fame career. Gonzalez joined the Atlanta Falcons four seasons ago in hopes of playing for a Super Bowl winner, but unfortunately, the Falcons failed to get there, and in his last year the team was decimated injuries and finished with a losing record.Gonzalez played both Football and Basketball at the University of California. He elected to focus on the gridiron and forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft, where he was taken in the First Round…

RIP: Paul Blair

Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer, Paul Blair died yesterday at the age of 69. Blair was considered one of the finest defensive Centerfielders ever, capturing eight Gold Gloves (all with Baltimore) and recording a very good defensive Career WAR of 18.6. Blair had his best seasons with the Orioles where he was an All Star twice and helped them win two World Series titles. Late in his career he would win two more World Series with the New York Yankees. His overall numbers in his seventeen year career saw him get 1,513 Hits, with 134 Home Runs and 171 Stolen…
His career may have ended with a whimper, but at least it is ending in the right place. Nnamdi Asomugha has returned to the Oakland Raiders where he had his greatest success and will retire wearing the black and silver.Asomugha joined the NFL after being drafted in the first round (31st Overall) by Oakland in 2003. By 2005, he took over the starting job at Left Cornerback where he would emerge a year later as one of the top players in the league. Opposing offences threw to his side of the field sparingly, and in 2006 he was named the…
We here at Notinhalloffame.com are looking for your help!   First off, we are starting to think that we might be a special charm in regards to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As you have noticed, we have a logo that represents a member of Rock and Roll, Hockey, Baseball and WWE genres that have yet to be honored in their respective Hall of Fame.When we began this website, the representative for the Rock and Roll logo was Alice Cooper. In our eyes, it was a logical choice, as the golf aficionado had at that point never been nominated…
