Really enjoyed high school football, got to play against Earl Campbell when he was at John Tyler High School, they beat the daylights out of us - three of our defensive guys had concussions from him running over them. I still enjoy football a lot but had my son play soccer and baseball - still get beat up some but not nearly the same.

We enjoyed watching Earl Campbell (The Tyler Rose) immensely when we lived in Houston. He is really crippled up these days. I think he’s on the athletic staff at UT, but can barely walk. At least that’s the last I heard of him.

The Tyler Rose. You aren’t the only one with stories like that.

Campbell was a beast!

The rest of the play? Yep... a junkyard dog in a china shop. :)
