I used to like watching Jim Harbaugh get the snot knocked out of him behind those dreadful Colt O-lines, then bringing the team heart-breakingly close at the end of the game, only to have his hopes crushed again.

And don't tell anyone this, but Ron Gant is the reason I (still) wear #5 in baseball/softball.

Also known as the Scott Mitchell story, alternatively the most loved and hated Lion (first hand experience there...those folks have some serious feelings about Mr. Mitchell.)

This explains your sympathy for Vick. :yelwink2:

Derrick Thomas

When i was little we usually got the Chiefs games on NBC and I loved the guy. Plus, he is truly one of the classiest guys of all time. A shame he isn't here anymore.
