...Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play

They've been going in and out of style

but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

So let me introduce to you

The act you've known for all these years

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

What a great day it was......so happy Jimbo is still with us after all he has been through recently.

Hard to believe so much time has passed.  Good for Jimbo.

That was the best HOF induction speech I've ever heard.  "...It has been written throughout my career, that toughness is my trademark.  Well the toughest person I've ever met in my life, is my hero, my soldier, my son, Hunter!  I love you buddy!  Thank you Canton, thank you Buffalo, and God Bless!"  I'm not crying, you're crying!

It's amazing to me that Jim Kelly and Hunter were both born on Valentine's Day. 37 years apart. And that Hunter would be 25 now.

20 years ago it had been 5 years since Jim Kelly retired. This has been another edition of Man I Feel Old Today.

I wish Kelly had a Lombardi - he earned it. But in a way, the "lost 4 in a row" thing adds to the meaning of "Kelly tough," which is a phrase I always keep close and try to live by.

 

He's really an inspiration, with all of the setbacks he's had and just the way he handles them.  He laid a pretty good blueprint for how to approach life.
