    -Jake Scott and Bill Stanfill. Induction will be during halftime of Dolphins/Bears Thursday Night Football.

    The ice has finally melted.

    After nearly three and a half decades of estrangement from the Miami Dolphins organization, former Pro Bowl safety Jake Scott is going to be properly honored.

    Scott was named to the Dolphin Honor Roll on Thursday along with another former great from the No-Name Defense, defensive end Bill Stanfill. Those two were in town to attend the Dolphins awards dinner at Turnberry Isle.

    “It’s only fitting that Jake and Bill are going in together – two Georgia teammates and good friends,” Hall of Fame coach Don Shula said in a statement. “They had great careers with the Dolphins and I’m glad they are being honored on the same day.”

    The pair will be officially inducted at halftime of the Nov. 18 Thursday night home game against the Bears.
    Voting is determined by the five-man Honor Roll committee, which is comprised of the only three players with retired jerseys in franchise history – Bob Griese, Larry Csonka and Dan Marino – as well as Shula and Nat Moore.


    My guess is Zach Thomas is next, going in 2011 or 2012!

    Hmmm... Could this have something to do with Scott's (now dead) grudge with Shula? A bit too timely for Jake Scott...

    This is great! 2 guys that really deserve to be there. I am completely stoked because that is one game I have already picked out that I am going to. In fact, I'll be taking the whole family to that one, 3 of my sons and my wife (she's from Chicago and will be cheering for da' Bears, what are you going to do). My oldest son might come for that one too. He is in the Army and has been for the last 9 years so it could be quite the group. All the better now to get to see a Ring of Honor induction!

    Very deserving in each case. These two were arguably the best to ever play their positions for this franchise. Scott and Stanfill were each 5 time pro-bowlers (Stanfill once in the AFL). Anderson IMO was the only player close to Scott, although Marion had a good run. Obviously Taylor would be the choice over Stanfill, but only went to one more pro bowl in several more years. If not for injury in Stanfill's case and an untimely trade in Scott's, these two would be strong Hall of Fame candidates IMO.

    Man I must be old. I can't believe that there are 20+ responses and growing to the top 10 post Marino QB list and nothing on two of the best ever to play for the Phins. Oh well.

    They should have already been in the Ring of Honor.
