Who should get the honor?

So, if the Bucs follow through with plans to unveil a Ring of Honor in 2009, who should have the honor of being the first inductee?

From where I sit, the choice is easy: Lee Roy Selmon, the franchise's only Hall-of-Famer, seems like a no-brainer. No other player who played most of his career in a Tampa Bay uniform can make that claim, so, what's there to discuss?

Then again, you could make a compelling case for coach John McKay, too. He is the one who helped steer the team through the dreadful first few seasons, finally turning things around in '79.

And because I'm sure some will attempt to make a case for him, let's go ahead and address Mike Alstott. Yes, he should absolutely be in the Ring of Honor -- one day. But it's hard to argue he should be the first one inducted. After all, he only retired in January.

I suppose we could have a spirited discussion about this topic, so let's do so. Tell us what you think.
