Those weren't thigh pads--that was Earl. :-)

I swear to God, his thighs were bigger than my waist and I'm no lightweight.

I know he had huge thighs, but I saw a pregame once on those pads. The NFL eventually had to ask him to alter them, he was putting air in them or something.

He was a hell of a runner, but he really took a lot of punishment (and doled it out too). Those collisions in those Houston/Steeler games were unbelievable.

I really believe that the Steeler-Oilers rivalry was even a little greater than the Steeler-Raiders rivalry there for awhile.

You guys got robbed in the corner of the end zone in that game where your receiver (name escapes me) actually caught the ball. You should have won that game.
