Doesn't qualify. Next you'll be trying to nominate someone's speech from the Chicago Softball HOF.

Props to Sandberg for his. I guess implying others used roids is worth that.
Jordans was pretty obnoxious wasn't it?

Randall Cobb's HOF speech will be the one by which future generations of inductees will be judged. It will be the equivalent of when Wyld Stallyns wrote the song that brought peace to the entire world.

Sandberg's speech was great. Jordan's speech was mean spirited and petty. He took a shot at anyone who criticized him from the cradle to his last game. He came off like an obnoxious tool.

Vicki Santos speech was awesome today.

Sandberg's speech was better though and still my all time favorite.

Rickey Henderson's speech when he broke the SB record served as his H of F speech for me.
