Brian Urlacher Retires
May 23, 2013

Not in Hall of Fame News
It was expected by many but made official today. Brian Urlacher, who spent his thirteen seasons in the National Football League as the face of their franchise and star Linebacker for the Chicago Bears called it a career today after testing free agency this past off season when his contract was not resigned. Urlacher believed that he could have kept playing in the NFL (and he probably could) but stated that he “didn't want to put another jersey on for any other team. Obviously, it wasn't going to be for the Bears this year, so I thought it was the right thing to do to shut it down."
We can wager that Urlacher’s number has a good chance of being retired by Chicago, and we think he has a great chance for the ultimate post career accolade; the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is a four time First Team All Pro, and an eight time Pro Bowl selection. We expect that he will be ranked high once eligible. We would like to thank Brian Urlacher for all the memories on the field.
Flock, Jarrett, Roberts to the NASCAR HOF

The NASCAR Hall of Fame has officially announced their selections for this year’s class. We are proud to say that fearless prognosticator, Spheniscus, has done it again and his top pick was selected to the Hall.
That man was Tim Flock, who took the number one spot based on his outstanding run in the 1950’s. Although, he was ranked #1 by us, the #3 selection, Dale Jarrett, is considered to be the headliner of this group. Dale is the 1999 Winston Cup Series Champion and has 32 wins, three of which were the Daytona 500. Our #6 selection, Fireball Roberts also made the Hall. Last year, he was the runner up when he lost a tiebreaker to Buck Baker for the fifth spot.
The three are joined by Jack Ingram, who was a champion in the Late Model Sportsman division and Maurice Petty, of the legendary Petty Family. Maurice was a master mechanic.
The ceremony will be next January.
Paul Bearer to the 2014 WWE HOF?

Damn! We have not even gotten our revisions done to the WWE list, and it looks like the WWE have already decided some of the entries for the 2014 Class.
It has been reported that William Moody (Paul Bearer) will be a 2014 WWE Hall of Fame inductee. This has not been reported on WWE.COM or on their programming, but there is no reason to think that this in inaccurate. It is also been suggested that the Undertaker will be joining Bearer, though again that was not confirmed by the WWE directly. With the Undertaker, it can be assumed that he will not be officially inducted until it is believed that his in ring career is ending.
As neither are “officially” confirmed, when we revise our WWE list in a week, both Bearer and the Undertaker will be ranked accordingly.
