To put things in perspective, during the 1968-9 season, Joe Namath was sacked a total of 9 times.  (This was told to me by John Schmidt, center on that team).

Winston Hill was a great player, a great team mate and conducted himself with class at all times.  Well deserved honor.  May he rest in peace.

Congratulations, now for Joe Klecko.

Just now, Fantasy Island said:

Amen!

Better late than never but pity he didn't live to enjoy it.

[Biggs]

Loved him and he absolutely dominated in the SB.  He was the best player on the field and it wasn't close.  So sorry he died before his induction.  

[rangerous]

it's too bad he isn't alive to see it.  it's kind of a kick in the head on the way out.  he certainly deserved it for his play.

When the Jets won the Super Bowl, they ran behind Left tackle and guard.  History repeats 

[TMAC]

When the Jets made history by signing Joe Namath (in those days the AFL and NFL competed for star college players and the NFL usually won), they surrounded him with an excellent offensive line, wide receivers, tight end and running backs.  The rest is history.

About damn time.

I am so happy for his family, but so disappointed that it took so long for him to be inducted into the HOF.

An 8 time pro bowl selection; I mean, what the hell is going on here?  Why wasn't he voted in many, many years before this?

Is it because he played for the Jets?  I don't understand it.

[DetroitRed]

How the hell do they give his number to Tucker?  This could easily be a public relations disaster.  Would they give out Klecko’s number?
