Jonathan Ogden - First Baltimore Raven to be enshrined in Canton

42 posts in this topic

Just watched Jonathan Ogden's HOF speech. What a tremendous class act JO is! Wow! No crying, but sincere thanks to all that helped him become who he is. Very moving tribute to Art Modell and the Ravens organization including all his team mates!

Ogden is currently the youngest HOF member.

 

Yes, I got what he meant.  Not the youngest ever, the youngest now.

He delivered a great speech.  You know how people said he seemed like the nicest guy ever when he wasn't playing, and there was no way he could ever turn that into demolition on the field?  Well, that was on display tonight.  He was just himself up there. Giggling, laughing, having a great time.

 

The Ravens are now represented in the Hall of Fame.

I totally agree. There were no histrionics, melo drama, none of the usual stuff that you see. It was so cool that he thoroughly enjoyed his induction into the HOF! He was happy as a kid in a candy store and it showed! He was articulate, classy and just purely happy!

He had a very good speech and I enjoyed seeing all the Jersey's in the crowd in Purple and Black.. 

I don't think that we will ever see another lineman like Jo ever on this team...

Does anyone know where I can find those JO jerseys with the HOF patch that people were wearing yesterday? I checked the Hall of Fame Online Store, NFL Shop and even our team store and can just find the basic t-shirt.
