One of my disappointments of the 70s was the Oakland Raiders. I loved Kenny Stabler, looked at him as Hugh Hefner in shoulder pads. But such greats as Lyle Alzado and John Matuszak’s careers and lives ruined for steroids and little fun was such a waste,.
Kenny Stabler, who drove a black ‘vet with a white racing stripe down the middle of the car. I believe it was called “The Skunk.” I met him at the hangout in Gulf Shores. He was way too old for me at the time, though, but he was a babe and a half, and one of the best Bear Bryant ever had.
So was Scott Hunter, who actually did try to pick me up in P’City at the hang out there. I was old enough, but he was intimidating so I turned him down...nicely, though.
Apparently, I had a fun youth. ;o)
Lyle Alzado and John Matuszak...both gone way too young, and both a joy to watch on the field.
The Tooz was in “The Goonies.” I don’t know why, but I’ve always liked that movie.
