We at Notinhalloffame.com love that November is the peak of “Hall of Fame Season,” where debates run wild and cut-downs amp up.  Less than 48 hours after the Baseball Hall of Fame unveiled its official 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the Semi-Finalists for the Class of 2025. Two months ago, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 167 Preliminary Modern candidates for the Class of 2025, and this year, a special committee was tasked with reducing this group to 50 for the first vote.  These are the 25 Semi-Finalists. *Means they…

1968 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project Class. Here we are!  Again!! If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946?

We then asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3…
