Peter Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I did not get a chance to watch it, but I had a feeling that Dan Marino or someone else might mention Hunter. Did any of you see the HOF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any of you see the HOF? 401522[/snapback] Both Young and Marino mentioned Jim and Jill in their speeches and said their prayers were with them.

Nirvjam Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Near the beginning of Marino's induction speech, he said words to the effect (i'm quoting from memory): "To Jim and Jill Kelly, I can only imagine what you are going through today. Our prayers are with you." Again I don't remember it verbatim. It was a classy statement to make and the crowd cheered in respectful acknowledgement.

Young went first, though, and he had already mentioned the Kellys. Class move by both QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sistersarah Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 ESPN also played a clip of Jim's HOF speech where he salutes Hunter. Nice to watch and have Steve and Dan mention the Kelly family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I hate to say it, but, in retirement, Marino seems so much more likable... Very classy. Same with Young... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone catch him nodding when Marino called him "the greatest coach of all time"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
