Not in Hall of Fame News

The 2014 International Tennis Hall of Fame has announced their latest class, and it is headlined by American Lindsay Davenport, who was ranked number one in the female ranks multiple times, first hitting that mark in 1998.  She would win 38 career tournaments, three of which were Grand Slams.  These were the French (1996), Wimbledon (1999) and the U.S. Open (1997).  Davenport also added the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta in 1996 and the WTA Championship in 1999. As good as Davenport was, she was often overlooked, even in her home country, as (ok, we’ll say it), smaller and prettier…

We apologize, as this retirement slipped right by us.  Perhaps we were still in a hangover over Canada’s win in Men’s Hockey in the Olympics.  A few days ago, there was another retirement worth reporting on, this time in the world of Hockey.

We have another major update to unveil here at Notinhalloffame.com as the Football List has been revised.  A month ago, the Class of 2014 was unveiled over Super Bowl Weekend, and like last year the Baseball and Rock and Roll list have been unveiled much quicker than last year.  Last year, Derrick Brooks took over the top spot in his first year of eligibility, and was selected.  This prompts the need for a new player at the top of the mountain and again we have another first year eligible player.  Linebacker, Junior Seau, who sadly took his own life a…

If KISS fans were hoping to see a reunion of the original four members on stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it looks like they will be disappointed.  In a previous article, we mentioned how Paul Stanley disclosed that his apathy towards the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has not changed.  We focused on that portion of his words, but perhaps we should have taken more note of his comments about how the Hall has been inconsistent by not always inducting what he felt were key members of bands. He cited how when the Canadian Progressive…
