On the Football Hall of Fame weekend, Canton lost one of its own, in the passing of Art Donovan, who was inducted in 1968. The Defensive Tackle was a five time Pro Bowl Selection and a member of the 1950’s All Decade Team and with the Baltimore Colts was a two time NFL Champion. However, it was not on the field that most people remember him for.Art Donovan was one of the most colourful personalities of all time, and his appearances on the David Letterman Show raised his profile. His humour was transcendent and e would become a popular public…
Pro Football HOF Weekend!
Aug 04, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
A week after the Baseball had their Hall of Fame Weekend and inducted no live bodies, Canton added to their legacy by putting in a solid group of (and alive) inductees into the Football Hall of Fame. Relatively speaking, this Hall has been controversy free and has been a model of how Halls should induct players and contributors. We also love the way how the Hall of Fame induction ceremony kicks off the Pre-Season and gets us excited about the upcoming season. We thought we would take one final look at the Class of 2013.Larry Allen was a mountain…
Donovan McNabb: Retired for good
Jul 30, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
Donovan McNabb officially retired from the National Football League and did so as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Quarterback last played in with the Minnesota Vikings in 2011, where his last few years were not exactly at a level of his glory years with Philadelphia.Although McNabb heard his share of boos in Philly (but what athlete hasn’t), he set virtually every Quarterback record for the franchise. As such, he secured the right to have his number retired in Philadelphia, but does it translate to a bust in Canton? We aren’t so sure.Although he was a six time…
2013 Baseball HOF Weekend

Written by
Committee Chairman
You may not have noticed, but this is the Baseball Hall of Fame weekend. Or maybe you did notice, and decided not to be too interested. If it is the latter, count us among that group. In many articles that permeate this website we have openly stated that we are for many of the PED users to get in; however only those who partook in that prior to Major League Baseball having a set policy in place against the aforementioned unnatural boost. Actually, we want to applaud MLB, which has dramatically changed its culture and is even overzealous at…

It may be the “Dog Days of Summer” and the sports world may not be at its most eventful, but that does not mean that we here at Notinhalloffame.com do not have some serious plans for the remaining hazy days of the season. Coming soon will be the next Basketball revisions. We can tell you that a brand new #1 will be crowned as last year’s #1 & #2 (Gary Payton & Bernard King) were selected for enshrinement. Overall, eight new first year eligible players will be making their way onto our Basketball 100, two of which will…
Bill Geurin and Doug Weight to the USHHOF

Written by
Committee Chairman
The United States Hockey Hall of Fame has added five new members to its institution. In our eyes, there are two co-headliners, that being Doug Weight and Bill Guerin. Weight played for nineteen seasons with seven different NHL clubs. He finished his career with 1,033 career points, a Stanley Cup Ring with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, and the King Clancy award in 2011. Like Weight, Bill Guerin is a four time NHL All Star. The Right Winger won two Stanley Cups (1995 New Jersey & 2009 Pittsburgh) and was once a Second Team All-Star Selection. The two American were…
A New Logo for NIHOF
Jul 22, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
Here is something you may not have noticed….. We here at Notinhalloffame.com have altered our logo a tad. With the new design of the website, the logo has taken a bit of a smaller profile; however it is a design that is meant to fluctuate. In our first incarnation, the four profiled were Alice Cooper, Don Cherry, Randy “Macho Man” Savage and Pete Rose. Cooper would receive his first nomination and subsequent induction shortly after our initial logo. We replaced Alice with Rush, and we actually thought that the Canadians would stay on the logo for a few years.…

Today the Hockey Hall of Fame has announced their Class of 2013, with three players, a builder and a female player. In our eyes, the star of the star of this year’s class is our #2 Selection on the NIHOF list, Chris Chelios. The three time Norris Trophy winner and three time Stanley Cup Champion enters the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The American Defenceman also led his country to World Cup Gold in 1996. Our #5 Selection and current NHL Head of Hockey Discipline, Brendan Shanahan was also selected. This was his second year…
UFC HOF. Why Nobody Cares
Jul 07, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
It wasn’t much of a build-up was it? The UFC may have come a long way in the last ten years, but its Hall of Fame is in the dark ages. Six weeks ago, Dana White announced that Stephen Bonnar and Forrest Griffin would be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame at their event on July 6, 2013. That day has arrived, and they are now officially part of the Hall of Fame, but has this really mattered as much as it should? That answer is easy: No.Let’s forget about the fact that there is no physical Hall of…
