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 Banks
227. Duane Putnam
228. Bob Gain
229. Dan Towler
230. Fuzzy Thurston
231. Derrick Mason
232. Kyle Rote
233. Lyle Alzado

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

After two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, the team traded Dave Butz was traded to the Washington Redskins in 1975, which would be the team where he spent 14 seasons.

Dave Butz was a good player for a long time.  That statement is a simple way to begin, but it is true.  He was with the St. Louis Cardinals for the first two seasons of his career (1973-74) and would then be traded to the Washington Redskins, where he was considered a solid player for years.  Something clicked in 1982, and he began to establish himself as a premier Defensive Tackle in the National Football League and was a huge part of Washington's Super Bowl XVII Championship squad.  In 1983, he accumulated 11.5 Sacks while winning First Team Pro Bowl honors, his first (and only) Pro Bowl Selection, and winning the coveted AP Defensive Player of the Year.  Butz was a Second Team All-Pro the year after and played until 1988, winning a second Super Bowl Ring in the process.
