Joe Klecko and Amani Toomer came to visit the office today as part of a Jets/Giants alumni thing (I work in Newark).
Anyway, I had Joe sign a Temple hat, which he liked since all he was signing was Jets stuff. He stopped to talk to me about the team once he realized that I was a fan/alum. He was very complimentary of Rhule and seemed to be pretty pumped about the team's performance. Only thing that I was not a fan of was when he said, "Shame he is going to be gone next year." That sentiment obviously just keeps growing. He agreed with me that Temple needs to do whatever it can to keep him here as long as possible.
He is a super nice guy and looks like he is still in great shape for his age. He said Dan just took the family down to the game and is pumped for ND to come to town. By the way, I googled Klecko before speaking with him, since he played before my time. How in the hell is he not in the NFL Hall of Fame? 4-time Pro-Bowler at 3 different positions: NT, DT and DE (only player in NFL history). 2-time All-Pro and won a Defensive Player of the Year Award. It is a travesty that he is not enshrined in Canton.
Just thought that I would pass along this encounter.
Go Owls!
