Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 29, 2013 Today we are introducing the TGP Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame will be a highly restricted group of members here on either TFP or TGP who, without them, the site simply could not exist as it does today. These are ground-breakers, movers and shakers... Members who have contributed in a variety of roles and who have made this site a great experience for others. Hall of Famers are members that TGP will never forget, they are ones who leave the site in better hands than when they found it. Election will only be once a year and I would be pretty surprised to ever see an election class go beyond 3 members. It is my honor to introduce to you, the inaugural class of the TGP Hall of Fame... NBB (GoodellSucks) & SuperBowlBuc We will have a formal induction "ceremony" if you will in the near future. These two members have done their jobs cementing their place in TGP history and now it's our turn to honor them. If you are friends with or know either of these guys well enough that you may be interested in writing a nice introduction for them as their presenter (much like the NFL HoF), please contact Vin or myself. It would be great if we could someone for each inducted member as we enshrine them into the TGP Hall of Fame. Please give these two your thanks, even if you are still relatively new and don't know one or both of them very well, as you are enjoying the fruits of their labor. Have a Great Evening, Vin & JD 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted June 29, 2013 Congrats you two! For those of you who think NBB is just a guy who goes around saying "lol" this and "lol" that you are sadly mistaken. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch 874 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I want to commemorate NBB (RogerGoodell). I haven't been here as long as most (just realized I've been here a year now) but in that short period of time, I can see the stamp of NBB on this website. I actually joined NBB in recruiting members for about 2 months now and the amount of communication we've had back and forth revealed a lot about himself in my eyes. The dedication and passion that he demonstrated on further building this site was real. The communication was very thorough. The play by play updates on recruitment progress, good places to look for new members, us game planning of which websites / fanbases to hit next, and alternate websites to go to when you get banned (NBB knows ALL the websites). Even got down to discussing threads to spark the interest of the new members and get the activity flowing. Through all of that, it showed me how much he really loves this website. I know that his hand helped mold this website even though I only saw a brief glimpse and can only imagine the work he's put into this site for all of these years. I saw someone on this website refer to NBB as "The master of whispers" and that couldn't be more true. To add on to that, he's the person that recruited me from that shit storm on NFL.com feigning/craving for some real and non retarded football fans. I thank you for that. I definitely appreciate it because I have come to call this place home now. His actions inspired me and I'm on board to help in any capacity that I can. This website is in good hands as long as he's on board because he has TGP's best interest at heart.

Superbowlbuc 26 Posted July 22, 2013 Hey all, I know this is bit late, but just saw this thread and wanted to thank the current powers that be for your nomination and selection! I’d also like to congratulate NBB for being inducted as well. NBB’s dedication to The Football/Gridiron Palace is unparalleled, and even beyond the creation of the site, this place would never have achieved the success it has without NBB’s devotion. It’s surreal to think it was seven years ago this site was created. I was just a sophomore in high school then, now a college graduate. When you consider how rare it is for these types of communities to last even one year, it shows how special of a community TGP truly has. When I look at the online list, it’s pretty darn cool to see a lot of familiar names still here, even from back when we were just a little fledgling site on the InvisionFree network. It is an honor to have been a part of building something truly extraordinary. TFP/TGP is a place that will always be very special to me. I grew up and matured on this site, met a lot of great people on here, and even got to know quite a few of you on a personal level. The memories are priceless, whether the NFLSpot Wars, Timbok and the GUAG wars (Quack Quack anybody?), Sarge vs. Moss89, ZoS vs. Everybody. I think BMX is still rounding 1st base trying to get to 2nd, and MRAVEN probably has yet to leave Sarge’s head. There’s a lot more I’m sure I’m forgetting as well. Before I joined this site, I thought I was some kind of football genius. Reading this site, I learned a whole lot about the game, and also learned I am far from a genius… but I did boldly and accurately predict on TGP radio that the Bucs would beat Green Bay in 2009. Not bad considering we only won three times that year. And of course thanks to LW29, I was always updated on ALL the headlines from EVERY news source. Thank you again for the induction to the TGP Hall of Fame. Being an admin on this site was a very rewarding experience, and I am very proud to see it appears stronger today than when I passed the ball off a couple years ago. It might seem a little crazy to say some online site had such a positive impact on me, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t. Even if I’m not as active or involved as I once was, I’ll always be a Gridiron Palacite! Go ‘Noles! Go Bucs! -Superbowlbuc 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
