Loved Ricky Jackson's Speech.

SapperSaint · 08-09-2010, 09:24 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.

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.

He never was a speaker. He never spoke well.
While I am glad he is in THoF and that he got a SB ring from histime with the 49's, I wish his people had written a sweet, short, easy speech for him.
A lists of thanks to his hometown, ONCE, his university, Saints,
49's, NFL, Tom Benson, N.O. fans, and SF fans , something like that.I did like his reference to his hometown in that he wanted his name on the welcome sign like Mel Tillis.That was cute. I liked when he said he did not know he did all that
in reference to his film. That was cute too.
Anyway, good RJ. He was a really part of N.O.Saints.

Playmaker and gamechanger. The man spoke from the heart, I thought it was cool.
