Some clarification on Hardesty

[BigPapaVol]

I'll see your Jerome Bettis and raise you Craig Heyward and Earl Campbell.

Earl was not just a raise from those other two, he was a moon shot.

True.

Ironhead Heyward was a serviceable, large back. Earl Campbell was simply the greatest pure power runner in NFL history. He also won the Heisman Trophy at Texsux.

Thanks for clearing that up:good!:

I think I may have enjoyed watching Earl Campbell run the football more than anyone I've ever seen. The man was a sledgehammer.

Earl Campbell hurt some LBs & DBs over his career and often on the same play. Now, he's kicked back on a blanket at the beach, wearing some unfathomably small shorts, having a dip.

Sadly, I saw Earl on TV recently and he really can't walk.

could you if you had to wear those shorts around for any length of time?

I'm pretty sure with thighs that large, any shorts are going to look unfathomably small.

[GAVol]

Didn't Ironhead Heyward die pretty recently?

Brain cancer, I think.

Whoa, Whoa. I'm saddened that Ickey Woods hasn't been brought into this discussion. Not because he was better than any one discussed (he played 4 years only had 1 over 1,000) but dammit because he's Ickey and did the shuffle.

 

[BigPapaVol]

While we're on the RBs, how about a little Mark van Eeghen. Guy adjusted his shoulder pads more than anybody ever.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

And while we're on the subject, Earl Campbell isn't in much better shape.

He also makes great hot link sausages and BBQ sauce.
