Atkins, to my knowledge, wasn't inducted as a Saint.

If you could point to otherwise, it'd be helpful.

I thought his speech was very good. That's who Rickey is so why change anything. He said on WWL during the week that he wouldn't go up there with a written speech and that he would speak from his heart and he did. He was never one for words. He would let his play do the talking.


bingo!

I don't know you personally but I'm confident that, no, you can't get up there to the NFL Hall of Fame induction podium.

Gotta give credit to Eddy DeBartolo(sp) 49ers owner. Awesome owner. Ran a 1st class organization with the 49ers.

I agree. Based on the interviews I heard in the past I was not expecting much, but I would have thought someone would have gotten him a public speaking coach or something. Thats kind of embarrassing for the Saints organization.. After all it was the first HOFer to get in..

jerry's speech sucks imo, many of these comments needed some emotion other then trying to read from the paper and not frick up the words.

Nobody gives a shite about NFL HoF speeches. Players stumble through them all the time.

You've obviously never heard any recent Tom Benson speeches... He's not the sharpest knife in the block either.

Rickey's just keeping it real.

LOL, honestly, who expected Rickey to show up and wow us with an amazing speech, really?

He actually did better than I thought. Of course, you've got some imbeciles here who thought Rickey was suddenly going to channel MLK.

A bad HOF speech invalidates your whole career and if you don't mention some people, you hate them and they should probably hate you!

He was a mafioso who got run from the league for a bunch of shite that will never make the press so the NFL isn't humiliated and the game tarnished
