Jets also had Richard Caster, who was from my hometown and Jerome Barkum who was from just down the road. Paul Crane from Alabama was also on the team in those early years when I was a becoming a fan Alabama games are music concerts now - an announcer said last year "We were watching a rock concert and a football game broke out" - it's becoming sort of a trend and maybe a bit over the top IMHO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a childhood friend of mine from H.S days down here in Florida who's family is from Alabama and are DIE HARD GB Packers fans because his Grandfather (still alive) followed Bart Starr from Bama to Green Bay. My friend, his Dad and Grandpa are all crazed Bama/Packers fans still to this day. That household alone is why I know Alabama as a STATE is so deserving of an NFL Franchise to one-day call their own.
