In his final game for the Miami Dolphins, Jason Taylor went out a winner. The Linebacker ended his career with some impressive numbers. Taylor was selected to the Pro Bowl six times, a Three Time First Team All Pro, a member of the 2000's All Decade Team and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2006. This loaded resume should place him high on our list when he is eligible, but he may not stay there long as this is Canton worthy.

Gang..... After a very long wait, we are thrilled to announce our first Basketball List. It was not an easy one, as followers of the Basketball Hall of Fame know that they factor in both the pro and college game. Our list takes that into consideration, but focuses primarily on male players. We hope you likje it, and take time to cast your votes!

The NBA lost another superstar as sharpshooter, Peja Stojakovic has retired. At the age of 34, the Croatian leaves professional basketball as a three time All Star, and a three time European Player of the Year. He finishes with a 17 point career average and .401 career percentage from the three point line. We aren't sure if he is a Hall of Famer, but we think a case could be made.

NL MVP Ryan Braun suspended for 50 games for PED

So much for the new generation. In an announcement that shocked us here at notinhalloffame, National League MVP, Ryan Braun has tested positive for a PED and will be suspended for fifty games next season. Winning a Most Valuable Player Award can be a catalyst for a Hall of Fame slot, but despite being only in the first half of his career, how can we expect any shot for him now with Cooperstown keeping McGwire and Palmeiro out; with the likely trnd occuring for Clemens, Bonds and Sosa? This is a huge disappointment for baseball.

It won't be long before we unveil our first Basketball list, of which we are most looking forward to. With that said, we are thinking of the sudden retirement of Brandon Roy, who only five years ago was the NBA Rookie of the Year. Roy was the star of the Portland Trail Blazers and was a three time All Star. The Shooting Guard also made a Second Team ALL NBA Squad and was the centerpiece of the Blazers team. Roy would twice average over twenty points a season, but his final year (only his fifth) would see him miss many…

When they were nominated this year, many (including us)…
Ron Santo has been elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame!

It is with great joy that we have learned that Ron Santo was selected by the Veterans Committee to become the latest entrant to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Santo received the necessary percentage to enter, but many (including us) have wondered why it took so long. Statistically, Ron Santo was already there, and had the resume of other third basemen who were already inducted. Santo, passed away earlier this year, and it s quite likely that it took this wave of emotion to sweep him into Cooperstown. Regardless, that it was years too late, we are thrilled with this…
