RIP: B.J. Thomas

It was announced today that B.J. Thomas, the Country/Pop star known for many hits in the 1970s, passed away after a long battle with lung cancer.  He was 78 years old. Thomas first achieved success in 1966 with a cover of Hank Williams’ song, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, but would have his first top five hit two years later with “Hooked on a Feeling”.  His first of two number one hits, “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head”, a song written by Burt Bacharach, became not only synonymous with Thomas, but with Paul Newman, who was doing bicycling stunts to it…

Adam Vinatieri announced that he is retiring from the National Football League. Playing his college ball at South Dakota State, Vinatieri began his pro career with the Amsterdam Admirals of the World League of American Football.  The New England Patriots signed him after and in 1996, he was officially a National Football League player. New England was a team on the rise and if we are to agree that New England has been the best team in the last 20 years, it was Vinatieri’s kick in the snow that began the dynasty.  Against the Oakland Raiders in the playoffs, Vinatieri booted a…

The final two names for the first class of the Premier League Hall of Fame as David Beckham and Steven Gerrard were chosen. Beckham was the most popular athlete in the world at one time, and his EPL career was stellar.  Playing for Manchester United from 1992 to 2003, the Midfielder had 62 Goals, and helped the squad win six Premier League Titles, two FA Cups and the UEFA Champions League Title in 1999. Gerrard scored 120 Goals for Liverpool (1998-15) and led the team to FA Titles in 2001 & 2005 and the Champions League in 2005. They join Eric…
For the first time, Notinhalloffame.com is awarding our first ever NBA Regular Season Cup, which generates the automatic question…what the hell is that? With every single regular season game, we anointed the best five players in the game with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1.  Nearly 400 players received at least one point, with over a dozen cracking at least 200.   The top players for the NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points.  It also does not hurt to be a top player on…
