A very hard question to answer in the abstract. Are we talking about being third string QB and getting a SB ring? If so, I would take the HOF. Or are we talking about a long, highly paid, multiple pro-bowl career (Steve Atwater comes to mind)--in that case, I take the SB ring.

Sure you can. It's about $20 for adults, $15 for kids. Probably a senior discount.

C'mon, people...would you rather have the career of Dan Marino or some guy who played one year but was the 5th WR on the SB champion?

Tough call, but I think I'd rather be able to say that I helped win it all... a World Champion.

I'd say HOF. I had a student once who was a relief pitcher for the Florida Marlins when they won the World Series. He pitched a few innings in the playoffs, but not the series and still got a ring. Now, he's a Chiropractor and not much else. I think he'd would have much rather have had a HOF-worthy career. I'd say that's valid for most players in team sports. The HOF members are the immortals of the game....championship or not.
Do you think people will remember that Derrick Thomas never played in a Super Bowl, or that he's in the HOF? |

According to the votes, this is a lot closer of a poll than I thought it would be at this point.
Some of you would rather be a third stringer on a Super Bowl team with a ring than in an Elite club of the greatest of all time... mind boggling. |

I would take the HOF career over the SB, no question--the whole SB bench warmer vs Dan Marino thing seems like a no-brainer.
But I think that maybe the people that chose the SB might be better people than us selfish HOFers. Or not smart enough to see the long-term benefits of the HOF career vs. one-time glory that they may not even have played a big part in. One of the two. But they're probably nicer people.

You play for championships. Period. If you do that well enough then hopefully the HOF will follow suit. I doubt a single person in the HOF would admit otherwise..

I'd bet no HOFer without a SB win would trade careers with a bench-warmer who happened to be on a SB winner.
