Remember Jack Youngblood playing on a broken leg trying to take off Staubach's head? I still cant imagine how many needles Youngblood needed to play on the D line with a broken leg.

Rodger the dodger, the problem with hating him was I had read a biography of him and had so much respect for him as a man. But yes he broke our hearts.
Whenever anyone talks about sport toughness I bring up Youngblood playing on a broken leg. Merlin Olsen, John Capelleti (sp), Hacksaw Reynolds, Rich Saul, Duval Love those Rams were the greatest. Even though I hated watching Pat Haden struggling to see over the O line- you still loved all 5" 7 of his courage.
I have a football with the signatures of the entire 1980 Superbowl team given to me as a present when I was a kid.
