Anyone obvious who was left out of the list of nominees? Who would you remove in order to include them?

If you mean Ken Anderson x 2 then I'm right with you.

I went with Ken Anderson (I felt the best about this one) and Corey Dillion but the second choice was very tough.

Nope.  Ken Anderson AND Ken Riley.  Those were my two picks.

Ken Anderson and Ken Riley

If OchoCinco ends up one of the 2, I give up on Bengal fans.

Chad is definitely getting in at some point. Number one all time in both receptions and yardage. Chad owns 4 of the 5 best seasons ever for reception yards for the Bengals. Six Pro Bowls and two times first team All Pro. If Chad could have put up two more good seasons, he probably gets into the NFL HOF.

I definitely agree that he will eventually be in that ring and I have zero problem with that.   But for the first 4 in the ring of honor, Chad doesn't deserve that.   That should belong to 4 men that helped build the franchise.   PB and Anthony Munoz were no brainers and were picked by the franchise.   Rightly.    Others men that helped build the Bengals are more deserving than Chad.

I think it should be Ken Anderson and Riley.    I'd also put in Reggie Williams,  Isaac Curtis, Corey Dillon, Big Willie, Boomer and the Breecher in before Chad.

I went Ken Riley and Big Willie. One old school. One new school. Both should already be in Canton.

I'll be shocked if Kenny Anderson isn't one of the other two.

[CincySportsFan]

The two Ken's are in.  Kenny Anderson and Kenny Riley will be joining Anthony Munoz and Paul Brown as part of the inaugural class this fall.

[The Raven]

The Season Ticket holders actually did the right thing.   Color me shocked.
