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, so this results 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 twelfth ten of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 111 to 120:

111. Joe Staley
112. Robert Mathis
113. Larry Brown
114. Erich Barnes
115. Willie Anderson
116. Jack Kemp
117. Rick Casares
118. Billy “White Shoes” Johnson
119. Ruben Brown
120. Wilber Marshall

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.

Erich Barnes was only with the New York Giants for four seasons of his 14-year career, but it was easily the best run of his career.

Erich Barnes came out of Purdue when the Chicago Bears drafted him in 1958.  The Cornerback played there for three seasons and went to the Pro Bowl in 1959.  After that, Barnes had the best run of his career where he played for the New York Giants for four years and was named a Pro Bowl in each of them while also making First Team All-Pro honors in 1961.  Barnes would later earn his sixth Pro Bowl with the Cleveland Browns.  Barnes would be known for his physical style of play, and ability to come back for run defence.
