Football The Pro Football Hall of Infamy - Make your nominations - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 09:39 AM

In a recent discussion, the esteemed member that we call "Katipan" brought up the concept of a Hall of Infamy for the NFL.

In a quick internet search, it appears that there is no official Hall of Infamy. That gives us a market opportunity to open one up, to be officially housed on this site. You, the members, will be the voters.

Here are the rules and bylaws of the Pro Football Hall of Infamy.

1. We elect exactly six new members each year. (Edit: 12 will be inducted in the inaugural year of the Hall.)

2. Membership criteria will be anyone who brought "shame, dishonor, disgust, or embarrassment" to the sport of professional football".* Each voter may decide what that term means to them.

* - English voters are welcome to substitute 'dishonour' for 'dishonor'.

3. Nominees can include players, coaches, administrators, owners, cheerleaders, fans, superfans, stadium designers, halftime performers, people who drop candy wrappers in stairwells, trainers, those people who run out with water bottles during breaks - anybody who fits Rule 2 above. The only rule is that they must be human, so you cannot nominate a cat that ran onto the field or an underinflated football or anything of that nature.

4. Nominees must not be inactive in professional football for at least five years to be eligible. So tom brady is not yet eligible.

5. Anyone in professional football is eligible, though of course none of us knows anything about the CFL, UFL, USFL, and other non-NFL leagues.

5. Each year, we will build a list of nominees. Nominees from the previous year will automatically be carried forward as long as they meet certain criteria, which will be determined once we see how Year 1 goes.

6. Each Chiefsplanet member will be allowed to nominate up to six people for per year in Year 1, and a smaller number TBD in future years. If more than six are nominated, the first six listed will be the ones chosen. (Edit: in the first year, members can nominate as many people as they deem appropriate.)

7. From the list of nominees, we will conduct a voting tournament to identify the six people who will be inducted each year.

8. (Edit - new rule.) If more than half of the top vote-getters are from one division, the lower vote-getters will not be inducted (in that year) and will be replaced by the highest vote-getters outside the division, in order to meet the induction figures described in Rule #1 and ensure that no more than half are from any one division.

9. (Edit - new rule.). In no year, including the inaugural year, will more than three players from one team be inducted. The assigned team will be the team that the player's infamy is MOST associated with, rather than any/all teams they were associated with.

With that said, nominations for the inaugural 2025 Hall of Infamy are now open. Post your nominees in the thread and I'll organize the voting tournament.

Herm Edwards and Todd Haley for what they did to us fans.

Jamie · 05-17-2025, 06:42 PM

Todd Haley - Pioli was probably worse at his job, but he at least gave me one reason to like him with the Ryan O'Callaghan story. Haley has no redeeming qualities.

Randy Cross - My least favorite commentator of all time, and for a while it seemed like we drew him every Sunday. **** Randy Cross.

Elvis Grbac - I think no explanation is necessary, but one of the least likable Chiefs of all time (non-murderer division) and author of the immortal quote "I can't throw it and catch it too."

Mark Schlereth - He's the first name that came to mind trying to think of media guys who gave credence to the "refs helping the Chiefs" thing. Maybe recency bias, but he's also a cheating Bronco, so **** him.

Albert Haynesworth and Suh should both be first ballot

**Rain Man** · 05-18-2025, 10:15 AM

Okay, we have 68 nominees right now for the inaugural class of the Hall of Infamy, shown in spoiler mode below.

Spoiler!

I kind of ignored the rule about only six nominations per person given the volume of candidates, so to be fair we'll open it up to further nominations, with no six-person limit. We'll go one more round of nominations and then begin the selection process.

I would recommend we put in two or three classes this year. A Hall of Infamy with only 6 displays is not going to attract very many visitors. We need to be sure to have enough revenue to get to next year's balloting.

I do think limiting the inductions to only 6 per year going forward is a perfect amount.

Yeah, looks like the Pro Football HOF had 17 inaugural inductees.

Farve may have his own wing. Strahan, dick pic, welfare scam
..

ChiliConCarnage · 05-18-2025, 11:07 AM

He may not make first ballot but Joe Namath attempted to besmirch Suzy Kolbers honor on public tv. It was pathetic and disgusting. I'm sure it wasn't a first offense either.

It was pretty pathetic, but one positive I hadn't known about was that afterwards in addition to publicly apologizing, Joe entered an outpatient program for alcoholism. He used the embarrassment from the incident as motivation to get and stay sober. So the outcome might be that it massively improved his own life. I don't think it hurt Suzy's image at all, either. She handled it perfectly in the moment, then afterwards immediately accepted his apology and moved on.

You guys missed Darren Sharper.
