Calvin Johnson Retires
Feb 01, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
Unless he changes his mind, we have a major retirement on our hands.
It was reported today that multiple sources have told ESPN that Calvin Johnson had informed the Detroit Lions and a close circle of family and friends that he will be retiring from the National Football League.
Should this in fact be the case, the Wide Receiver known as “Megatron” has put up a stellar NFL career that includes the following:
3 First Team All Pro Selections
5 Pro Bowls
1 Receptions Title
2 Receiving Yards Title
731 Receptions
11,619 Receiving Yards
83 Receiving Touchdowns
15.9 Yards/Reception
Calvin Johnson may not have the career numbers of some of the current former Wide Receivers who are chasing Canton, but he does have elite seasons, and was a game changer. This makes him in our eyes a bona fide Hall of Fame contender, which he will become eligible for in 2021.
Should this be the end of Calvin Johnson’s career, we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank “Megatron” for the memories and wish him the best in his post-playing career.

Reggie Wayne Officially Retires

You will have to forgive us, as we are a little late on this one.
Wide Receiver, Reggie Wayne, has announced that he will be officially retiring. Wayne had asked for his release at the end of pre-season from the New England Patriots this year, but not was able to latch on to any other team.
With this official retirement, Reggie Wayne retires with some serious Hall of Fame credentials. A six time Pro Bowl Selection, Wayne caught 1,070 passes for 14,345 Yards and 82 Touchdowns, and is 7th, 8th and 23rd respectively in those categories, all-time.
Those are good statistics but this is not all that has been accomplished by Wayne, who with the exception of this year’s preseason with New England played all of his thirteen seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Wayne is a former First Team All Pro and a two time Second Team All Pro and in 21 Playoff Games, caught 93 passes for 1,254 Yards and 9 Touchdowns and was a member of the Colts Super Bowl win in the 2006 season.
Wayne will be available for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020 and will be on our Notinhalloffame.com football list once eligible.
Thank you Mr Wayne for the memories and we wish you the best of luck in your post playing endeavors.

Awards = HOF? Part Four: The Super Bowl MVP (NFL)
Nov 24, 2015
Published in
From the Desk of the Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.
Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.

Former Football HOFers to have a say on who gets in?
Sep 27, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The Pro Football Hall of Fame might just be mixing it up a bit.
Currently, a the 46 member selection committee is made up of a media member representing each NFL team, a member chosen by the Pro Football Writers of America and thirteen at large delegates.
According to Pro-Football Talk, this is about to change.
They have reported that there will be an announced change that will have modifications that would allow current Pro Football Hall of Fame members to be a part of the election process.
What those are?
At present, we have no idea, but it was implied that this change could take affect as soon as this or next year.
The question that we here at Notinhalloffame.com ask is two fold:
First, just how will this work and when will we find out?
Second, will it allow the football players similar power like past Baseball Players who are on the Veteran’s Committee who have inducted very few players into the Hall?
Either way, it will be interesting and we are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next!

Under the new format, Contributor nominees are automatically forwarded to the Final round. Last year, there were two Contributor nominees (Bill Polian and Ron Wolf), both of whom were inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Debartolo Jr. has been a Hall of Fame semi-finalist in the past

Ken Stabler and Dick Stanfel named 2016 Senior Nominees for the PFHOF
Aug 20, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Only a couple of weeks ago, the Football Hall of Fame officially inducted last year’s Senior Nominee, Mick Tingelhoff. This year, the Hall returns to two Senior Nominees, and while we are upset that former Green Bay Packer, Jerry Kramer is not one of them, we can’t say that we have a lot of issues with the two they did select.
Former Oakland Raiders Quarterback, Ken Stabler, who died earlier this year has been named as a Senior Finalist. “The Snake” had been a popular choice for many in terms of long time omissions for the Hall, and was himself a Finalist three times (1990, 1991 & 1993). Stabler is ranked at #6 on the Notinhalloffame.com Football countdown for 2016.
The other Senior Nominee is Dick Stanfel, who also died this year. The Offensive Lineman split his playing career in the 1950’s with the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins and was named a First Team All Pro five times. Stanfel would go on to have a successful offensive line coaching career, most notably earning a Super Bowl Ring with the Chicago Bears in 1986. He is ranked at #30 on the Notinhalloffame.com Football countdown for 2016.
It should be noted that roughly two thirds of Senior Nominees make the Pro Football Hall of Fame and that the Senior Nominees automatically are Finalists for this year’s Hall of Fame.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com only wish that both Stanfel and Stabler were still alive to enjoy this day.

Steve Smith to retire at the end of the year
Aug 10, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
A fairly major retirement in the world of professional football will take place at the end of this season as Baltimore Ravens’ Wide Receiver, Steve Smith Sr., will hang up his cleats following this year’s campaign.
Smith is entering his second (and final) season with Baltimore after spending the first thirteen seasons of his career with the Carolina Panthers. Seven times, Smith eclipsed 1,000 Yards Receiving in a season and in 2005 he would lead the NFL in both Receptions and Yards Receiving. A two time First Team All Pro, Steve Smith currently ranks 14th in Yards and a 800 Yard season would put him in the top ten, and improve his Hall of Fame probability, even in an era with inflated numbers for wideouts.
Is Steve Smith Sr. a Hall of Famer? We’re not sure that he is, but another Pro Bowl season, or a deep playoff run by the Ravens could put him over the top.

Pro Football HOF reverses decision on Sydney Seau
Aug 04, 2015
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Don’t you love it when the people talk and Halls of Fame listen?
Roughly a week ago, the Professional Football Hall of Fame stated that Sydney Seau, the daughter of Junior Seau, the late Linebacker who was chosen for Canton on his first year of eligibility, would not be speaking when inducting her dad. The Hall had cited a previous (and little known) rule that was instituted in 2010 where a deceased player would not have a substitute speaker accept on their behalf.
As all of you know, the perceived belief from fans and media alike was that the Hall was concerned (and possibly pressured by the NFL) that due to Seau’s death by suicide brought on from CTE conditions that Sydney Seau would bring up the cause of his death. It should be noted that Sydney had claimed on multiple occasions that she would not do not do so. Clearly the backlash brought unintended attention to the issue of head trauma in football, which was what they were trying to avoid all along.
It is reported now, that Sydney will be allowed to accept the enshrinement on her father’s behalf, a decision that should have made all along.
While we here at Notinhalloffame.com hate how they arrived in this decision, we are glad that the Pro Football Hall of Fame made the right call.

RIP: Ken Stabler

It was announced that Ken Stabler, famed Oakland Raiders Quarterback, has died today from colon cancer at the age of 69 in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Stabler was a standout at the University of Alabama and would be drafted by the Raiders in the second round in 1968 but would not play for the team until 1970. Emerging as a classic drop back passer, “The Snake” would win the 1974 MVP award and later in 1976 would win the Offensive Player of the Year. He would have his greatest moment in Super Bowl XI when he would lead his team to victory. He would finish his career with the Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints, but it was with the Raiders of which he has become synonymous.
Over his career, Ken Stabler would throw for nearly 28,000 Yards and was a former four time Pro Bowl selection. He would also compile an impressive 96-49-1 record as a starting Quarterback.
There have many who have claimed that Stabler is one of the biggest snubs from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is the only member of the 1970’s NFL All-Decade Team. At present, we at Notinhalloffame.com have him ranked at number six of those who should be considered for the Hall. He was a Finalist for Canton in 1991, 1992 and 2003.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Ken Stabler at this time. He will be missed.
