Transcript (and now video) of Andre's speech

[BUFFALOKIE]

Thanks for the link to the video! The toss and catch from 12 to 83 at the end was touching. 83 was a huge part of the greatest nfl team ever! I did not realize Lofton is in the hall.

Wow!

@spotrac: Sammy Watkins' $12.8M signing bonus is $1.3M more than fellow #Bills WR Andre Reed earned in his 16 year career: http://t.co/Y4mkmN515F

The Redskins never came up as far as I can recall.

Right you are my friend!

I checked both NFL.com and BB.com, but they only have highlights from his speech, so......

 

It's not an official NFL youtube channel, so it may not be up for long, but here is the video....

 

 

 

Thanks, Jack!! That was a great speech!

Yup, crazy money but until a rookie wage scale was implemented it was even worse.

Guys, go to youtube and you can search for it under "Andre Reed Hall of Fame Speech". There are some clips with excerpts of the speech, but I found the whole thing. It was 43 minutes including Marv's intro, up to Jimbo's toss to him at the end.

 

If you didn't shed some tears last night, well I don't know what to say. I must have needed the tissues several times. That was the best speech since Jim's with his son.

 

I just loved how Boomer started it off with "No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills" My god, there had to be 15,000 fans there.

 

Now that they have a contributor category starting next year, Bill Polian should be a first ballot guy for his 30+ years building up three teams.

 

God, I'm ready for some football. Go Bills!!!!!!!!

You are quite the man to admit to that.

I just used my shirt.

Oh and Boomer was a great kickoff actually. Quite the moment in time for us old Bills fans
