Will Holmes make it on the Ring of Fame?

Duck Dog · 11-21-2005, 01:06 PM

After LJ officially takes his job away and Holmes retires, will he make the Ring? And if so, how long will it take? I think he will, though I'm not sure how long it takes (organization standards) or how long it will take.

If LJ keeps on this path, he'll be there too.

Yes Priest should be a lock for the ROF

DT was put up there the year after he died. It took Joe Delaney 21 years. Nobody knows what the ROF standards are. Not even Lamar.

RIP Joe Delaney and all, but it seems kind of ridiculous to compare JD with DT in any way other than the fact that they both had untimely deaths. Surely the Chiefs ROF has more to do with football accomplishments as a Chief than it does with tragic endings. You might be right that no one knows what the ROF standards are, but your example doesn't add much weight to that argument, IMO.

If I were on the selection committee, Priest would be at or near the top of my list of active player candidates (along with Will Shields and Tony Gonzales). I say he gets in.

Oh - I'm not comparing anybody at all. Those are the only two timeframes I knew off the top of my head.

I don't think there are any "set" standards such as there are for Canton. That was my point.

**gblowfish** · 11-21-2005, 01:35 PM

He'll probably make it....

After Carl Peterson
and Denny Thum
and Bob Gretz...

And any of the other front office bozos who believe they should be up there.

After the put Steadman the Suit up there this year, that whole thing means nothing to me anymore. It's tainted as far as I'm concerned.

nychief · 11-21-2005, 01:36 PM

dumb question.

Lurch · 11-21-2005, 01:40 PM

The only question is, when? I'd say within a year of his official retirement. That's what he deserves.

CoMoChief · 11-21-2005, 01:42 PM

If Carl Peterson makes it up there (the ROF), I'm going to hire a special ops militia to sneek in there at night time to take it down how ever many times they keep putting it back up there.

My bad. Sorry for the misinterpretation. I've never heard of any standards either.

KCTitus · 11-21-2005, 01:45 PM

Since Holmes holds every rushing record for KC, I'd say it's pretty much guaranteed.

KC Kings · 11-21-2005, 01:46 PM

The ring of fame should be something sacred, not something that you let all of your star players into. If Priest retires, I don't think there is any way he gets in the hall of fame, and I think you need to do more than be a great player to get in the ring of fame. You need to have a great community presence or a tragic death to push you over the edge.

The only current ring of fame player we have is Tony G, in my oppinion.

**Dunit35** · 11-21-2005, 01:47 PM

Hes in.

After they added Jack Steadman to the ROF, they tarnished it a little for me. That said, Priest DESERVES to be in the ROF.

How can you say that about Jack? I bet if you asked 100 people the first thing that somes to their mind when you say "Director of Player Personenel", at least 98 would say Jack Steadman.
