    St. Louis Rams They don't mak'em like Jack, anymore.

    "One of the athletic feats for which Youngblood is best known,
    is that of playing the entire 1979 playoffs, including Super Bowl XIV, with a fractured left fibula.
    He also played in the 1980 Pro Bowl with the injured leg, a week after the Super Bowl."

    I bet that just felt great.

    Man has this been blown way outta proportion. It was a hairline fracture , the kind that sometimes doesn't even show up on an x-ray and also the kind that people sometimes don't even know they have. Yes he was a great player but he legend making done by NFL films etc, gets a little outta hand sometimes. Nuff said.
    What should you call any : Fumble , Hold , Interception , Three and out , or Sack ?

    A " F.H.I.T.S " ? or a J'Marcus ?
