Not in Hall of Fame News

I wish I could say that this was a surprise but I don't that there is anyone who has watched the downfall of Whitney Houston over the last ten years that is shocked but the news of her passing. Whitney Houston seemed meant for stardom. With the look of a star, the voice of an angel and the poise of a seasoned celebrity, she dominated the Pop charts for years n the late 80's and early 90's. Everything she touched, turned to gold and as an artist who was not known for edgy material, there was really no reason to…

Ten years ago when Nipplegate happened, I missed it completely. I was at a friend's house with six other guys and we played poker through most of the Halftime Show. The women, came downstairs to watch the Halftime Show, but long story short, through twelve sets of unfocused eyes, Janet Jackson's left nipple was not seen by my pizza guzzling bunch. Yesterday, it happened again. This time I watched the game at home with my wife, who only wanted to watch the Halftime show. This time while watching, we again missed it, this time it was the extended middle finger…

....and it shocked us a bit. Six names have been selected to enter Canton, Ohio as the newest Hall of Fame Class. As part of our tradition, let's take a look at who got in.....and who didn't. IN: (with our ranking in brakets) Curtis Martin. (#2) Our highest ranked non-senior candidate was a stat machine for the Jets and Patriots and had the statistical resume to back it up. Easily, the offensive star of this class. Willie Roaf. (#4) It was only a matter of time for Roaf, and it had to be assumed that either he or Shields would…

Gang, we are not shy about our distaste for the "Celebrity Wing" of the WWE Hall of Fame. Combined the four inductees have competed in two matches and would have less than three hours of TV time (the majority of which was Bob Uecker's appearances at Wrestlemania 2 and 3). With that said, if they are going to have this wing, the least they could have are people who have given more of their time to the WWE. We finally have a celebrity inductee we can finally justify. Mike Tyson was not just the special "enforcer" at the main event…

Now this one intruiges us a lot. Longtime New York Yankees Catcher, Jorge Posada retired today. An article on ESPN claimed he should be looked at as a Hall of Famer. We aren't so sure. Posada was a great player, of this there should be no doubt, but a Hall of Famer? Posada was not the best Yankee, and we aren't thinking of him as the best Catcher of his time. He hit for power, but did not reach 300. He did not come close to 2,000 hits and his career WAR, while decent at 44.7 is not an automatic…
