1966 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the first 18 years thus far.

Written by
Committee Chairman
Two weeks ago, Barry Bonds was inducted into the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame along with Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen. Naturally, reports would ask him about the Baseball Hall of Fame afterward. Bonds tone was a lot different than it had been in previous years: “I don’t have to worry about those things no more. I want to hang around my grandchildren and children. Those hopes? I don’t have them anymore.” Bonds, who failed to make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame via the writer’s ballot, appeared on his first senior's ballot, where he received so little support…

Former WWE and WCW Heavyweight Champion Sid Eudy passed away at 63. According to his son, Gunnar, he died following a long battle with cancer.

An injury to Sid ended the tag team, but he returned as a member of the Four Horseman and would challenge Sting for the WCW World Title at Halloween Havoc. When his contract ended in 1991, he…
