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 176 to 200:

176. Dick Barwegan
177. Charley Hennigan
178. Cornell Green
179. Charley Brock
180. Bob Baumhower
161. Tank Younger
182. Buford “Baby” Ray
183. Bob Hoernschemeyer
184. Asante Samuel

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

Playing his entire NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings, Matt Blair was one of the quickest players in football, using his speed at the Outside Linebacker position to bottle up opposing offensive stars.  Blair would have a six-year streak of Pro Bowls from 1977 to 1982, with 1980 seeing him earn a First Team All-Pro Selection.  Blair was not just a star Linebacker, but a beast on Special Teams, as he blocked 20 kicks over his career.  He is a member of the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor.

Matt Blair was with the Minnesota Vikings for his entire career, going to the Pro Bowl six consecutive times.  Blair was not just a spectacular Linebacker, but was utilized his speed on Special Teams, holding the record the most blocked kicks in franchise history.  Much of the success of the Vikings defense in the late 1970s and early 1980s can be attributed to Matt Blair.

Minnesota inducted Blair into their Ring of Honor in 2012.
