Thread: Floyd Little

I wish that I lived closer to Denver. I would love to go to the practice at Mile High and pay my respects to Floyd. They will be playing his Hall of Fame acceptance speech on the main stadeum screen.

I hope those in the area will show up and represent in a rowdy manner for us that can't travel that far.

Watching the HOF now on TV. Cant wait for him to get inducted.

They were expecting 20,000 to be there to watch the practice, plus hear Floyd's induction speech. Based on the following, I am wondering if they will put Floyd on in Canton so it will be seen live at Invesco after practice - would be a great idea. I am also watching it on tv now, and my son/dau-in-law, granddaughter and grandson, plus friend are there.

Canton, Ohio _ Floyd Little got up from the breakfast table this morning to take a call from Broncos coach and Canton-native Josh McDaniels. Little couldn’t eat, anyway, as tonight he will be formally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Even though it was 6:20 a.m. Denver time, McDaniels was thinking clearly enough to point out that Little was in Canton by way of Denver, and McDaniels was in Denver by way of Canton.

McDaniels told Little that the Broncos’ players would wear No. 44 decals on their helmets tonight when they scrimmage at Invesco Field at Mile High. Little’s speech will be played on the Invesco Field large screen following the scrimmage.

When Little comes back to formally receive his Hall of Fame ring for the weekend of the Sept. 26, and the game against the Indianapolis Colts, he will speak to the Broncos’ full squad at McDaniels’ invitation.

He gave a GREAT speech!

Well done on his speech......I wish I could have seen him play......just a little before my time.......it is nice to have another bronco in the hall......

Great speech from Floyd. Dude didnt even tear up, i did it for him. Dude was the man. Congrats to a legend.

Seeing how Dallas is my 2nd favorite team Emmitts speech ought to be great.

Emmit's speech should be interesting.....not the best of speakers.....

I was fortunate to see Floyd's entire career, and I can guarantee you, for all who were as fortunate, he is one of those players that you will never forget.
