I saw a 30/30 on Earl Campbell. The man is practically an invalid.

Funny thing though. I also saw an interview with one of the old Oakland Raiders of those great teams of the 1970s. IIRC who it was but it was one of their great defensive linemen. They asked about the things he went through, his injuries, etc. He said (IIRC), he recounted all the surgeries, knee, back, shoulder, hands, etc., must have been 15 or 20. He asked the rhetorical question of “was it worth it”? He said he didn’t really know but even knowing what he went through, he would do it all again.

I thought those “flashback” on CBS were great. And the “Before They Were Pros” with the gold footballs was the best part of the Super Bowl.

I think that was Otto who wore 00. I think he said “In a second” when asked if he would do it all again.
