Proposed: When Willie Roaf retires, he should... - Page 2

go into the Ring at Arrowhead, but go into the HOF as a Saint.

I know it's his choice, but I think even today, for many of us we recognize the big man as a Saint who joined the Chiefs, rather than a Chief who entered the league as a Saint. The whole situation with New Orleans ought to reinforce the need for the New Orleans legacy.

That said, he deserves to go into the ring with Will, Priest, Tony and Trent.

TJ's prediction that he won't make it erases any doubt in my mind that he would.

Willie gets in on the first ballot.

On an aside, I'm still agog that Merlin Olsen made 14 pro bowls. That's absolutely amazing.

Your right..... why would one of the best OL of all time go into the hall of fame?
