Earl Campbell is with a 'p', and his nickname is 'Tyler Rose', not like 'Pearl' Monroe and others. It's true he had a shorter career than alot of players, and it was painful to see him broken down with the Saints, but for 3-4 years, he ran over and dragged people like no one ever has before or since.
Patriot, My thoughts exactly on Bobby Orr. All these years later and still a class act. When I was a teenager the first word I taught my niece was "Bobby" .. (my sis-in-law was not too happy with that- lol)
I think you could question New England grade school kids to this day "Who was Bobby Orr?" and more of them would answer correctly than if asked "Who is the President?".
