only problem is about 75% of that fire is his hatred for TCHFCATUTK
Fire is Fire baby.
I sat right behind him in section B (I think). A bunch of people were standing up in front of him and his wife and all the other players from the 195? team and he went off.
"I can't see, sit down" like he was talking to a group of his old running backs. It was pretty damn funny because I really didn't think those idiots he was talking to knew exactly who was blessing them out.
sadly, i bet you are right about most of them not knowing who he was.
I really liked his early work...Big Valley, Six Million Dollar Man, Farrah...but haven't heard much out of him lately glad to see him back!
Majors was born Harvey Lee Yeary in the Detroit suburb of Wyandotte, Michigan. He is the son of Carl Yeary, who was killed in a work accident before he was born, and Alice Yeary, who was killed in a hit and run accident in 1941 when he was two years old. He was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Harvey & Mildred Yeary, and moved with them to Middlesboro, Kentucky. He excelled in sports from track to football while enrolled at MiddlesboroHigh School. Although he earned only average grades, he is the most-remembered athlete in his high school's history. Yeary graduated in 1957 and earned a scholarship to Indiana University where he competed in more sports. Yeary left Indiana University in 1959 and transferred to Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky after he got into a fight at a fraternity house. That same year, he suffered a severe back injury prior to the beginning of the football season, which left him paralyzed for two weeks, and ended his football career. While a student at EKU, he met actor Rock Hudson and they became very good friends. It was at this time that Yeary began to think about becoming an actor. Yeary graduated from EKU in 1962 with a degree in both History and Physical Education, which gave him an option of becoming a teacher.
Yeary adopted the stage name Lee Majors from his own middle name and from that of his cousin Johnny Majors, runner-up for the 1956 Heisman Trophy, and a long-time football coach, at Iowa State University (1968-1972), the University of Pittsburgh (1973-1976 and 1993-1996), and the University of Tennessee (1977-1992). At 25, Majors' first role was in Strait-Jacket (1964), starring Joan Crawford.
