Committee Chairman

Sapp trashes Strahan regarding the HOF

Jun 25, 2013

We are going to be lazy here and just reprint what was written by Caroline Lee from UPI.COM as we have not seen it anywhere else:

“Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan is not NFL Hall of Fame material, according to former NFL defensive tackle Warren Sapp.

Sapp commented Wednesday after Strahan was not accepted into the 2013 class, and said it was because the Giant was overrated.

"Nobody ever talks about Simeon [Rice,]'' Sapp said of his former Tampa Bay teammate. "Simeon was a better rusher than Michael Strahan any day of the week and twice on Sunday.''

Sapp also said that Strahan didn't succeed in the NFL until the Giants moved him from the right side to the left side, leaving Strahan blocking a weaker player.

"This is a man who wants something given to him and they gave it to him,'' Sapp said. "So have it.''

In February, Sapp started the feud, saying that Strahan was a "media darling" during his first year of hall-of-fame eligibility. Strahan responded to Sapp on Twitter.

"You never cease to amaze me!" Strahan tweeted. "Enjoy your moment. You don't need to take a shot at me to justify yourself to other people."

Strahan has not yet responded to Sapp's latest jabs.”

Hmmm….We honestly thought Strahan should have gotten in before Sapp, or at least together. Still, considering Strahan is living it up on “Kelly and Michael” and Sapp just declared bankruptcy, we will let Sapp have this moment.

RIP: Jackie Fargo

Jun 25, 2013

Published in Not in Hall of Fame News

Another wrestling legend was lost today when it was reported that Memphis legend, Jackie Fargo passed away today at the age of 85. Fargo would win many titles in his long career, mostly in the NWA in promotions in the South. Fargo would be a multi-time tag team champion with his kayfabe brother, Don Fargo, and eventually would settle in as a mainstay on the Memphis scene, where he would mentor Jerry “The King” Lawler to greatness.

Some wrestling historians have pegged Jackie Fargo as one of the inventors of the “Hardcore” style, as he was one of the first to have wild brawls in the ring. Perhaps his greatest gift to wrestling was the “Fargo Strut” which is copied by many wrestlers today.

Although Jackie Fargo had no real association with the WWE, we have him ranked at #67 on our WWE list, and as the organization has inducted performers with similar resumes (Abdullah the Butcher). We offer our condolences to the family and friends of Jackie Fargo at this time.
