re: Rickey Jackson's Speech That He Didn't Read

I LOVED his speech. I still laugh about the fishing and "vegetables, too" comment.

At first I thought, "OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ricky, please don't tell me you haven't prepared a speech." But the more I listened the more I liked it because it just came across as being genuine.

I HATED Emmitt Smith's speech. It was all about ME, ME, ME, My name, ME. I would bet money that a large part of the speech was the crap he reads when he gets paid by corporations to give pep speeches. And, that's how it came across -- like a canned paid for speech.

Ricky's was REAL!
