Twice this year he might have the opportunity to pass three in one game, possibly at Vristol.

Saw his last game in the Liberty Bowl. And it was glorious.

Curt Watson......what a blast from my past. I thought Garner, Stanback and Morgan would be close to these numbers and on the list. I thought wrong.

Great names on that list.  My fav is probably Cobb, despite the troubles he got himself into.  I think he is doing well for himself now.  Another back with a troubled history that I like is Hubert Simpson - probably one of the greatest Fullbacks we ever had?  1500 yds in what was probably 2 full seasons.  He had a great game against the Irish in '79.  We could have probably used him in 1980, but Johnny gave him his walking papers.

Curt Watson's the only one I haven't seen.  I may not have seen Johnnie Jones in person, but saw (and heard) him play plenty on TV/radio.

Yeah, but that is only because we are old, Philly. 

Not as old as Pirate, however.
