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
185. Rich Jackson
186. Jim Katcavage
187. Matt Blair
188. Ken Kavanaugh
189. Abe Woodson
190. Nate Newton
191. Tom Sestak
192. Bill Forester
193. Brian Waters
194. Tim McDonald
195. Don Perkins
196. Steven Jackson
197. Jim Lachey
198. Brandon Marshall
198. Butch Byrd
199. Frank Minnifield
200. Dave Krieg

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

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

21. Rich Jackson

Rich Jackson was traded from the Oakland Raiders after his rookie season and from 1968 to 1970, the Defensive End would be considered among the best Defensive Ends in Professional Football.  In those three seasons, he was named a First Team All-Pro and AFL All-Star, and while he was not in the AFL for very long, he was named a Second Team All-Team Selection.  Jackson, who was the master of the now illegal "head slap" unofficially had 10 or more Quarterback Sacks in those years and the man named "Tombstone" will never be forgotten in the state of Colorado.

Tombstone's reign as a star was brief, but more than enough to enter the Bronco's RIng of Fame as part of their first class in 1984.

185. Rich Jackson

Undrafted out of Southern in 1966, Rich Jackson was given a chance by the Oakland Raiders, where he played only five games.  Al Davis would trade Jackson to the Denver Broncos, but immediately it was a transaction that the Raiders owner would regret.
