P.S. Congratulations Rick on your HOF induction, very well earned and very much deserved.
Great read. Thanks for sharing
Nice read....I knew him back in the 70's, knew his kids and worked out at his health club in Starkville.......concussions are now being treated with the seriousness that they deserve.Quote:

Excellent read. As always, great job Rick!
He was my first year tee ball coach. I had no idea he played in the NFL.
Thanks, Rick! Great story!
Super read. My mom grew up with him.
I played golf with him in Jackson many years ago. Very nice guy.
My dad worked for Willie growing up and loved him and the family. When Willie passed, his family was kind enough to make my dad one of the custom cowbells they made in Willie's honor for friends and family. It sits on his office desk
