Actually the Hall of Fame doesn't distinguish players as belonging to any team. Ricky goes in as one of the best football players ever. If it wasn't for Lawrence Taylor I'd say he was the LB I ever saw.

IMO the best LB to play in his time this includes LT, didn't get enough credit

Congats Rickey!!!!!

Wanna bet who'll be making the pregame speech tomorrow afternoon?

It took 43 years for a Saint to be recognized. Let's give them something to remember tomorrow.

Let's give Ricky some company.

Good for Rickey. It's about freaking time. Now let's see Mills, Swilling, and V.J. get in there as well. You gotta put all four in there. This is a sign for tomorrow Saints fans......

This is great news! Excited for Rickey and I can't wait to see us Dome Patrol fans represent and have a great showing at the HOF induction.

Happy for Rickey Jackson; and at the time was glad to see 'em get his shot (as Painful as that was seeing the Hated "9ers) and after Mora wasted his best years with his punt tackle kick offense...

But Bobby Hebert doing that swooping bird BS in the Atlanta Jersey was unforgiveable...

And I didn't think WWL could find anyone more incoherent than Buddy D could be at times (especially after a day with the Ponies); but Hebert is brutal to the ears...

And I just didn't like Hebert doing his dirty bird routine; classless...

Two other thoughts on Rickey; one, did he get the child support thing cleared up? and two, does Andre Tippet getting in close the deal for Rickey who had better stats?!?

Mark Madden...I think he was on old WCW wrestling programs as a color commentator. He was a jerk-off then, and he's a jerk-off now.
