    ^^^A great video about a great old-school Jet, which I thought many of you guys might enjoy. I always loved Joe, and I think he belongs in the HOF. The shame of it is that many young fans on this board probably don't even know who he was...:*(

    Uh, everyone knows who he is both young and old. The idiots pulling the strings in that POS palace do not care how much fans petition and raise a ruckus. At this point, I sincerely believe Klecko, along with Winston Hill, will never get in.

    Sorry about Nate Kaeding, Jr.

    Klecko was the best. When you posted this I thought of him in Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit. Two of my favorite fun movies to watch when I was growing up.

    Great player but not a sure fire HOF player. Winston Hill is the most deserving Jet for the HOF who doesn't get a sniff.

    In today's football, that's a 15yd penalty and an automatic 1st down. Back in the day? Great play!

    (The Condensed Art Monk Argument) Getting a B+ and taking 20 years to graduate doesn't mean you graduate summa cum laude.

    Pro Bowler for 3 different positions.......no reason he shouldn't be there.

    I can remember him actually crawling through Seattle's OL and sacking David Kreig ......

    If he was a slam dunk HOF player he would be in. He wasn't. That doesn't mean he isn't as good as some guys in the HOF. He wasn't Reggie White. Dan Hampton and Richard Dent were on one of the greatest defensive teams of all time and have rings. I'm not saying Klecko wasn't a great player. I'm saying he was borderline HOF and he wasn't dissed.

    You put trade Klecko for Hampton or dent and he is in. Klecko’s only flaw was being in the Jets. It’s an absolute dis that he is not in.

    Absolutely true......it's the " Jets " tag holding him back.

    Anyone who dismisses Klecko never saw him play.

    Ask any player who went face to face with Joe Klecko if they think he belongs in the hall.

    ^I guess it depends what time the gavel fell when he got Judge Judy'd. I have to agree with this one (and there were many past bannings that I did not). PMing that garbage to FJF - especially since he did it over and over again - is a form of harassment IMO. He probably was losing it because FJF ignored him and said what the F with this guy. Then he cursed at statjeff. Statjeff?! C'mon, now. That's like cursing at your Uncle. Guy has never once said anything demeaning to anyone that I ever saw. Don't be surprised if he comes back under another user name and gets banned again for outing himself after losing it again.
