Football The Pro Football Hall of Infamy - Make your nominations - Page 4

**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.

She handled it perfectly in the moment, then afterwards immediately accepted his apology and moved on.

My post was mostly joking. I didn't know that about Joe getting help afterword. I'm sure that was embarrassing but it's nice that something good came from it.

The new list has some weird entries. What's the story here?

Panthers cheerleaders Angela Ellen Keathley and Renee Thomas

Sounds perfect.

We're up to 164 candidates now. We'll let it go another day or so, and will then begin the tournament. Let me know if I missed anybody who was nominated.

As a reminder, this is the pro football Hall of Infamy, not the Chiefs Hall of Infamy. But you can nominate Chiefs, of course.

Spoiler!

Spoiler!

Also worth noting we don't want this to be the Broncos Hall of Infamy. If we unveil it and after 5 years we have 30 Broncos players it probably isn't going to be taken seriously.

All the murderers should be go in first.
IMO, nothings more shameful than stealing another persons's existence. Being unrepentant and evading justice just makes it worse.

Since we're allowed to go over 6 nominations now, I have to add Carl Peterson. Trading picks for Berm Edwards to coach the team was ridiculous. If he wasn't the founder of our franchise and the AFL, I would be tempted to nominate Lamar Hunt for not firing him for that. Keeping him around 20 years was inexcusable.

Did you google them?

I'm a big fan, but I figure they should be nominees.

I was actually tempted to make a rule that at least half of inductees need to be outside the AFC West, due to the preponderance of broncos and Raiders players on the list. But it's hard to justify such a rule arbitrarily.

Carl is added. I won't add Lamar unless you formally nominate him.

If he's not an inaugural member there's something wrong with our process.
