I see from your sig that you read the series on Mike Webster. How fucked up was that? Jesus. I knew he had a rough go of things post-NFL, but I never had any real dirty details. Blew me away. How unfortunate.

I do remember seeing Terry Bradshaw saying, "I just want to get my hands under Mike Webster's butt one more time" at the induction ceremony in Canton.

I also liked how they mentioned the amount of awareness and wits that goes not only with offensive linemen in general, but especially centers.

Yeah, that ish was messed up. I mean homeboy was worse off than most Viet Nam vets. I love the quote from my sig...so fucked up its almost unbelievable. Good series as well. Did you catch the one on the girls b-ball coach who turned out to be one of Denver's biggest sex offenders?

I think I saw a mention of it, but didn't read it. Mom was a Steelers fan for some reason when I was young, and Terry Bradshaw went to Tech, so Webster wasn't a no-name 'round my house.
