Ring Of Honor

[Doomsday101]

I believe Bob Hayes got into the Ring of Honor after he and Irvin got dinged in the final HoF vote the year prior. Had it not been for Cowboys bias, Hayes would have gotten into the Hall and not the Ring.

I agree about the Ring being exclusive, but wouldn't it be good if we can honor our own like Harvey Martin and Drew Pearson that are kept out of the Hall due to Cowboys bias?

Bob went in Sept. 23, 2001 but remember the prior ownership did not see fit to put Hayes in any earlier and Hayes was out of football in 1974

I agree, but, the Cowboys may have a higher standard for their Ring.

I like that higher standard.

 

[joseephuss]

Yes.

I spoke to Rick Gosselin about this when Irvin and Aikman were inducted into the ROH. He felt that Jerry was anxious to get some of his Cowboys into the ROH and it didn't neccessarily close the door on Landry's Cowboys.

Some will laugh, but another name that seems to get overlooked is Everson Walls.

Some will laugh, but not me. The guy was good.

I think the writer was trying to provide an example, albeit a poor one, that a situation could occur, where a Cowboy is in the Hall of Fame, but not the Ring of Honor.

You mean....like Tex Schramm was?
