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.

Re: RICKEY JACKSON WILL BE INDUCTED INTO THE NFL HALL OF FAME

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

Congats Rickey!!!!!

RICKEY JACKSON
Linebacker … 6-2, 243 … Pittsburgh … 1981-1993 New Orleans Saints, 1994-95 San Francisco 49ers … 15 playing season, 227 games … Selected by Saints in 2nd round (51st player overall) in 1981 draft … One of key players that fueled New Orleans transition from perennial losers into contenders in late 1980s … Made immediate impact as rookie when he led team with franchise rookie record eight sacks and was leading tackler … In 1983 established himself as elite pass rusher recording 12 sacks … That year marked first of six double-digit sack totals in career … Also earned Jackson first of six trips to Pro Bowl … Named first-team All-Pro 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993 … In 1987, Saints first winning season, Jackson recorded 9.5 sacks, 74 tackles, three forced fumbles, and two interceptions … Saints captured their first-ever division title in 1991 and Jackson recorded 11.5 sacks, 59 tackles, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and three passes defensed … Team never finished below .500 during Jackson’s final seven years … Jackson finished NFL career with two seasons with 49ers who converted him to defensive end and pass rush specialist … Retired after 1995 season with 128 career sacks that does not include rookie total since sack did not become official statistic until 1982 … Also intercepted eight passes during career … Born March 20, 1958 in Pahokee, Florida

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?!?

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

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.
