Committee Chairman
Can we say again, how much we love “Hall of Fame Season.” Two weeks after the Baseball Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2025, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their class, but it was not without controversy. This was the first year under the new system, whereby the 15 Modern Finalists was cut to 10, and then to 7. From there , the Committee cast their ballots for five of the seven, with a candidate needing 80 percent of the vote to enter. As we suspected, and even warned about, a scenario could emerge where you…

1973 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 27 years thus far.

We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select…

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

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Chicago Cubs will induct Sammy Sosa and Derrek Lee to their franchise Hall of Fame this year. The induction of Sosa is the culmination of two decades of acrimony between Sosa and the Cubs. Sosa, who was a beloved figure in Chicago in the 90s as he was going…
