Guess you can't always judge a person by their looks.
>> He’s a multi-millionaire with a master’s degree in education.
He also admits to ‘participating’ in the excesses of the 60s. He’s quite an ordinary yet exceptional fellow.
Merry Christmas, 2DV and FRiends!
Bradshaw says he was pretty good, but what would he know?
I didn’t know he was originally from Vivian. I thought he was from points a little further east, given the La. Tech and West Monroe connections. That’s some pretty spooky swamp country, over by Vivian/Mooringsport and that whole Caddo Lake vicinity. Driving some of those small rural roads around there at sunset can be rather creepy and unsettling.
Phil Robertson is what my parents would call “good stock”. And they’d say that his kids come from good stock.
And they’d be right.
The ducks he played against weren’t much of a challenge as it’s hard to hold a football under a wing and run. Aflac!
Here’s an interview Terry Bradshaw did with Jay Leno. Phil Roberton is brought up in it.

Yup..years ago, after work we used to toss around the pigskin and I had a sales rep who could effortless toss the ball 60, even 70 yards...on the mark...
Too bad he was dumb as a box of rocks...

How good was Phil Robertson at football?
snip
Phil Robertson: I had the arm. The ability was there. Bradshaw probably had me
a little more on distance. I was about a 65-yard man. … I remember at some point,
Bradshaw and I would get out there and he would throw like 70-plus.

The above ESPN article is long but has many quotes from various people that had contact
with Phil including Bradshaw, coaches, etc.
