Not in Hall of Fame News

1961 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 that we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946? After soliciting and obtaining a passionate group of football fans and historians, we sent out a ballot for a Preliminary Vote, in which we asked each voter to give us 25 names as their semi-finalists and 5 in the Senior Pool. Following that, we asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era…
The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists. At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on: The new 226 to 250: 226. Carl Banks227. Duane Putnam228. Bob Gain229. Dan Towler230. Fuzzy Thurston231. Derrick Mason232. Kyle Rote233.…

RIP: Larry Allen

Professional Football lost another great one. Hall of Fame Guard Larry Allen passed away today at 52.  He was vacationing with his family in Mexico at the time. Drafted in the second round in 1994, Allen earned a starting job on the Dallas offensive line and helped them win Super Bowl XXX, and would later become their best lineman, earning six consecutive First Team All-Pros (1996-2001) and 10 Pro Bowls as a Cowboy.  He added an eleventh in 2006, in his first of two years with San Francisco. Allen entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013 in his…
1961 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are unaware of what that is, we acted as if the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the years up to 1960. For “1961,” a Preliminary Vote with over 100 players whose playing career ended by 1954. 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…

During a recent appearance on the Metallica Report, Metallica frontman James Hetfield expressed his dismay that the iconic Lemmy Kilmister has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a heartfelt tribute, Hetfield revealed that he had recently gotten a new tattoo, which used Lemmy’s ashes, a permanent symbol of his respect and admiration for the leader of Motorhead. Hetfield's words were poignant while describing the artwork: “The Iron Cross and the ace of the spades.  Lemmy is able to still fly the bird to the world via me.  And just a reminder of what…
