Pity...
We'll ignore your stupidity but there is something there.
When I first starting playing football my hero was number 22 with the Rams, Bass. He was a quick darter.
As a trackster my hero was Bullet Bob Hayes. Who was also number 22 as a footballer. Pigeoned toes and all.
As a bodybuiler I admired the great Cuban Sergio Olivia.
My fav poet was the great Langston Hughes.

I always have fun with...."you Googled that"...ha~~~~ For some unknown reason people struggle with...long time fan here.......why I don't know.
I was into the NFL in 1959, when I was 10 years old. I saw Roger Staubach play for Navy, saw O.J.Simpson run track for San Francisco City College. I remembrer when there were no Dallas Cowboys. So if ya pay attention you're going to learn some things.
The old AFL
East
New York ans
Boston Patriots
Buffalo Bills
Houston Oilers
West
Dallas Texans....KC Chiefs to be.
LA Chargers
Denver Broncos
Oakland Raiders.....who came real close to being called ..Oakland Senors.
Abner Haynes a RB out of North Texas St was the first 'star", he was a Texan. The first "great" player however to come out of the AFL was Charger receiver Lance Alworth.
In 1960 the NFL looked like this.
East
Philly Eagles
Wash Redskins
Cleveland Browns
New York Giants
St. Louis Cardinals
Pittsburgh Steelers
West
GB Packers
Det Lions
Niners
Baltimore Colts
Chicago Bears
LA Rams
Dallas Cowboys.....they would switch to the East in 61

So who can tell me who the fastest white NFL player was?
Damn.. Your death can't come soon enough.
You really take this stuff this serious ya little freak? Why not just stop reading me, well? Ever notice I never talk to you unless you are bugging me, why is that? Yep, it's because you're a whiny little got always wahwahwahing about something.
Go bug others more like yourself ok ya ing loser? And lose that confederate flag asshole, ok? You really that stupid? Go talk razors and farting and all thar other stupid here, ok moron?
Never seen a place where so many know so little.
I'm going to share some movies I found fascinating I doubt few here are aware of, starting with this one.
Saw this at a walk in in 1960, cost a quarter and it was the only place in town ya could buy a foot long hot dog. This flick is amazing.
Just think if Hollywood ever put out....The Life and Times of Mohammad The Prophet...telling the true story, that studio would be blown up as would any theaters the movie played in, yep, those freaks are that far gone. The actor who played Mohammad....beheaded.
Anyone here know the true story? There is a belief that he might have suffered from some mental disorder like bipolar.
No single person ever perpurtrated a greater hoax than he did with Islam. A huge pack of lies.

Ok...we'll go with this. When I was little, my neighbors were such over the top Cowboy fans that it made me look for other teams to root for.
For some reason, I liked the Rams, Seahawks, and Bears. So, Pat Haden, Jim Zorn, Largent, Payton...those are the guys I pretended to be.
And the Oilers after that. Earl, Pastorini, Whiteshoes Johnson. Kenny Borroughs.
finally got over the Cowboy thing. About the time that Aikman, Irvin, and Emmit joined.
The weird thing for me was I was a Niner fan, I just didn't run like J.D.Smith. I was a darter like Bass. A stop and starter, cut and go.
Ken Burrough a 9.4 cat out of Texas Southern. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson played at a tiny little shool, what he did in that league was amazing.
My fav Cowboy was number 43 Don Perkins.
my favorite Cowboy was Robert Newhouse for no other reason that my favorite number was 44.
Why? The Ice Man.
Newhouse was a stump, talk about thunder thighs, damn! Came out of Houston.
True or false?
Choo Choo Winters was a big fast black RB for Nebraska way back when. He was going to be the next big thing, he dragged tacklers. So there's Choo Choo out with a white girl, her brother had told her to stay away from black guys, she didn't listen. So her brother and some of his buddies beat Choo Choo up so bad he could never play football again.
what's the question?
How about did that really happen?
did her brother and some of his buddies beat up Choo Choo so bad that he could NOT play football again?
I'll say "True"
Nope! The only truth was there was a Charlie "Choo Choo" Winters who was a RB at Nebraska.
