The NFL draft used to be a non-event held on a weekday. Right after the Oilers drafted Earl, my old man drove right to the Oilers offices & bought season tickets. Those were great times.

I grew up in Beaumont and drove with my dad to the Astrodome for every home game and saw his greatness on the field. When he was traded to the Saints my dad quit watching football. To this day he says Earl Campbell was the greatest running back he has ever seen play the game.
