It is that time again here at Notinhalloffame.com where we take a look at the Football Hall of Fame, and have done our revisions for the New Year. Although, there are only four new entries making our list of 100, there is a change on the top of the rankings.As much as we here at Notinhalloffame are major fans of the snubbed Offensive Lineman for the Green Bay Packers, Jerry Kramer, we have supplanted him as the number one selection for our list. In his place, is a first year candidate, Derrick Brooks, who we feel has all the credentials…

RIP: Ritchie Havens

Ritchie Havens, passed away today at the age of 72 due to a heart attack. Havens is best known for his outstanding opening set at the Woodstock festival in 1969. He blended Soul and Folk and played the acoustic guitar with a fervent style, atypical of other Folk singers. Havens was atypical of other Folk acts, as he was an African American in what was predominantly a Caucasian genre. Although Havens would have many acclaimed albums, it was that Woodstock performance that he will always be remembered for. In what could have been just an answer to a trivia question,…

Committee Chairman
Amidst our excitement of the beginning of the NBA Playoffs, we almost forgot (Okay, we did for a bit), the retirement of Rasheed Wallace, who is retiring for the second time after a comeback this season with the New York Knicks. The Knicks will be entering the playoffs as the second seed in the East, but injuries have taken Wallace out of the game, and he has chosen to retire instead of join New York as they go after an NBA Championship.This brings us to our favourite question: Hall of Fame or Not? For the record we actually thought Rasheed…

Roy Halladay to 200 wins
Apr 15, 2013
Written by
Committee Chairman
As we get older, we are desperately trying to convince ourselves that “40 is the new 30”. Perhaps we should transfer that thinking to Baseball, where 200 is the new 300.The number we are referring to is “Wins”, and the 200 came to mind when likely Hall of Fame pitcher, Roy Halladay hit that milestone today. The pitching win in Baseball might very well be the most antiquated stat in the game. Even before the sabremetrical revolution, fans often looked at a pitching win as a stat that could easily be dissected. As there are anywhere from thirteen to fifteen…

Although we do not (though we may plan to add it in the future) a Notinhalloffame.com list on those who are not in the Country Music Hall of Fame, we would like to extend congratulations to Kenny Rogers who has been selected to join the prestigious Hall. Rogers was a major star in the Country-Pop genre in the late 70’s and 1980’s and achieved high levels of popularity.
