I live in Pittsburgh now and my dad always told me about how Campbell and Harris were contemporaries (see my reply to DMIR above for his take) but very different runners.

True... no one went looking for contact as much as Campbell. My dad always says that Franco Harris never saw an opportunity for contact that he didn’t try and avoid and Earl Campbell never saw an opportunity for contact go by without making it.

I’m an Oilers/Titans fan but too young to remember Campbell’s playing days. Poor guy gave his health to the game of football. It makes me question my desire to continue watching the sport when I see him at events like the Heisman ceremony and hear that he was washing down OxyContins with Bud just to function. How much…

Bob Walk and Greg Brown have some thoughts on how this fits into the unwritten rules.

+1 Dwight Howard

Holy shit! That’s one of the most terrible things I’ve ever heard. I feel truly terrible for your mom and you.

Another contender for worst combo...2 and 4 a la Gloria Grahame.

I had forgotten about the SI preview until now....hahahahaha.

Believe it!

Same Sad Song: Jets show Trouba Door

Definitive answer to the Joker question:

I don’t see what Shane Battier has to do with this.  The Heat didn’t even make the playoffs.

I’m hoping this is supposed to be a parody of a real Boston sports fan...not a real Boston sports fan.

I love Steve Blass as an announcer. I think this is more “Old Man Yelling at Cloud” than racism.

That was John Wehner

I live in Moon (technically the neighboring township of Crescent) and this year the 5A WPIAL championship was played between Moon and Mars.

Greg Brown is just the best.

Wehner and Bob Walk both suck...and it’s a shame because Greg Brown, Joe Block and Steve Blass are great.

Totally agree....the suspensions should be doled out for guys lining someone up for something like this with three full strides.

A real travel scoop would be how to avoid the long lines on Everest.
