Rickey Jackson's Speech That He Didn't Read

Good story today HERE
...So instead of reciting the speech that his daughter Rickeyah had written for him, Jackson called a quick audible.
..."It was an excellent, excellent, excellent speech," Bensel said. "Rickey is a great football player. He is not a public speaker."
-------------
As rambling as he was and as much as I chuckled about vegetables in his hometown this story makes it cooler. All World Jerry Rice said some good things but sounded as cardboard and heartless as a 6th grader reading a book report. I'll take Rickey's honesty from the heart- with his supreme badassness on the field anyday!

I agree with you, I'm glad he didn't read it. He came across so genuine, it was a pleasure watching. Rickey came across so humble, I felt like I was watching my brother accept the honor.
Canton benefits from having Rickey there !

i dont care for arse kissers
it was a shitty speech from a shitty public speaker. nothing wrong with that in most situations. this was not the place for a guy like Rickey to go off the cuff, in my humble opinion.

quote:I agree. I love Jerry Rice and always respected his talent on the field. His speech, although was the right words to say, didn't flow at all. It was like there was a period and a pause after each word, which takes the emotion out of it. Rickey stumbled around and at times had me with both hands on my face thinking to myself "c'mon Rickey wrap it up". But at the end of the day it was from his heart and I can respect that. It made me excited about the day that I can watch Drew dominate on that podium.
