NOTORIETY n. The fame gezegde

 When those things happen, there will be a little bit of notoriety, ... That's very easy for me to deal with because I've never played hockey just for that reason, the honors.

So there's a lot of people that aren't in that should be.

 I just know that Kurt's a great competitor. He did very well when he was playing for the Rams. He still wants a stage. He'd be like any other performer that lost the stage. He wants another stage.

 Let come what will, I mean to bear it out, And either live with glorious victorie, Or die with fame renown'd for chivalrie: He is not worthy of the honey-comb, That shuns the hives because the bees have stings
  William Shakespeare

 I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead. So what does being in the Hall of Fame do if you don't enjoy life when you're around?
