Me too man

Those were exciting days. Great team, great players the best half time show was in the circles (without cheap see through banners) and I was young enough to enjoy it!………..Good times.

There was no one better

I still say he was the greatest player to ever play the game. He changed the way the position was played, and he changed the way offense was played. Offenses were redesigned to stop LT.

and I never even got to watch him in his prime (though he was still damn good when I started following football). I actually just got my throwback LT jersey in the mail today, can’t wait to break it out for the game tomorrow night!
