The New Orleans Saints are having their Hall of Fame announcement ceremony as we speak and the members of the class of 2012 have been announced. Tom Benson and Deuce McAllister will both be inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame this year. Obviously, it's an honor they both deserve equally.

It was also announce that Jim Henderson has been chosen as the recipient of the Joe Gemelli Fleur De Lis award for his contributions to the team over many, many years. No word on when I will be receiving mine.

Lastly, the team revealed that a wing in their hall of fame will be renamed Steve Gleason Hall in honor of #37.

Congratulations to everyone receiving honors. They are all very well deserved.
