Loved Ricky Jackson's Speech.

SapperSaint · 08-09-2010, 10:24 AM

Ricky was Ricky. He spoke from the heart. It took him a little bit to get his thought process rolling, but I think he gave the speech he wanted to give. Just great to have a TRUE Saint in the HoF!

I agree that's how he is. He could care less about naming this and glorifying that. He was better than Jerry by a mile. Jerry's speech was horrific. I loved his hat.

What was up with that? I love JR, but that was really bugging me. Someone on twitter said he was sniffing like a cokehead. I sniffle whenever I get choked up, maybe that's why, but I didn't see any tears, or hear a quiver in his voice. IDK, it was just weird.

I think he was really nervous and it was his body's way of handling the anxiety. It was annoying and made him hard to follow.

I liked his speech, I really loved the highlights and seeing the hair styles from the early-mid 80's. U gotta love all the hi-top fades with the lines in the sides and still a few jerry curls and mullets running around on the sidelines.
