Somewhat off topic, but Chuck Howley is the answer to what trivia question?

Only member of a losing team to be Super Bowl MVP.

"Who was the MVP of Super Bowl V?"

Also known as the Blunder Bowl.  Horrible game.  A turnover fest.

Has any nominee gotten to this stage of induction before and not gotten voted in? 

Yes, I'm paranoid.

Everything I am reading here is the vote is a formality.

Sounds like it is safe for you to celebrate a bit.

[rangerous]

great news.  klecko was one of those great players who could play in any era and do well.

[munchmemory]

Congrats, Joe.   Can't wait to watch your induction ceremony.   

[AZSOJ]

The SACK Exchange... whomever saw it will never forget the ferocity and strength of Joe, Marks uncanny speed, Salam and Lyons clogging the middle... it was a work of ART!

Joe should have been in years ago... 

 

[VERMONT JET]

So do all three of those guys get in or do they just choose one to go to the Hall?

[southparkcpa]

I know Joe De Lamelliure, Bills lineman personally, was invited to his HOF ceremony.  I have thanked him countlessy for his very vocal support of Joe Klecko!!!!! I Play golf with his son in law on occasion. We are members of same club.

[redlichtie]

This is brilliant news

Is it wrong to Cry when this happens ? I have been waiting years for this !!!  Maybe I'm getting old and emotional HAHA . 

Well, I speak for all of us Jet fans when I say the 2 things we deserve are another SB win and Joe Klecko in the HOF. I will likely cry if I see a SB win since I didn't see the first one live as I was 5 yrs. old, and am 57 yrs. old now and would like to see a SB win by the Jets before I die.

We don't deserve Joe Flacco though.

Klecko belongs in the hall of fame. If the hall of fame had tiers, he would be in the lowest tier, but he still belongs for his accomplishment of being the only player in NFL history to be elected to the Pro Bowl at three different positions. It wasn't a popularity contest when he was elected. His peers and league coaches determined that he was special enough to play in the Pro Bowl. This is long overdue, and it will be a special moment for me, as I am sure it will be for most of us. 

[fltflo]

About f’en time, hall should be ashamed of themselves for passing him over for so many years.
Congratulations to Joe for this well deserved honor. Hell, even the guys he played against knew he should have been in years ago.

I'm fortunate enough to have grown up watching Klecko. The thing you remember about him is there was nothing fancy about his style of play. He just lined up and overpowered the player in front of him and if he got just one hand on a QB, it was a sack.

Agreed this was the first Domino to fall for Joe now we need the SB win . I will absolutely ball my eyes out if and when we do win a SB I'm 46 so hopefully we see one pal .
