Congrats Lapham and Parrish to Ring of Honor

[*Awful Llama*]

Lap's been the color guy for forty years, stretching all the way back to his time with the incomparable Phil Samp. "If" he jumped the line by a year or two, meh, there are worse things.

Congrats to him and Mr. Parrish.

See I think this is where my perception of the ROH differs from what it is…I think it should be a Bengals HOF type thing with maybe a coach or 2 (PB had to get on there of course). I would not have ever put Lap up there as a player and being a company man/announcer should not matter.
Waters it down IMO just like they did with baseballs HOF - for example I don’t think Lap was a Dillon/Chad/Anderson level player so he shouldn’t be up there with them. Oh well not the biggest deal but just my opinion

I am glad they have the ROH and look forward to Geno getting in on his first try!

I agree on both we all have opinions on who deserves ROH such as mine, Dillion should not be in the ROH at this time but that is minor to the decision of having finally having a ROH that honors players/coaches.

I really liked the Ring of Honor but how the FO is starting the 2025 season is tarnishing the honor for me. I usually get really excited but the constant contract drama for the past year starting with Chase is exhausting. I feel like we are being played by the FO to take the attention away from their contract and organizational failures by a marketing stunt. FO just needs to do their job so as a fan we can have more confidence this organization actually cares about winning and past achievements.

Oh drop that bullshit, yes he should.

And who the hell is Dillion?

As I understand it, it is up to Season Ticket holders to vote who goes in, not the FO. If that's the case, it would seem most disagree.
