Wanted to welcome you, but more importantly tell you how awesome that sig is! Do you mind if I add that quote to the quotes list on the Hogs section of the website?
I don't know how long you have been lurking, but based on that sig I thought I'd also relay to you the following from my interview with Mark Moseley at the Ken Harvey event last year...
Me: If you had to take a Hog to dinner and pay for it, who would you least like it to be?
Mark: Russ Grimm. I watched him eat an entire 64 oz prime rib in a sitting and pretty much wash it down with a case of beer.
Sean Taylor was one of a kind, may he rest in peace.
That is amazing. 64 oz.?? Jesus. I actually saw that quote in Boswell's column today and just had to use it. When I think about the Hogs, those are the images that come up in my mind: just regular joe-type players who laid it all on the line week-to-week.
I heard a story once that Riggins missed the team bus for and NFC playoff game in '82 or '83 and tried to hitch a ride only to be picked up by a car being driven by the assistant coaches.
Anyway, feel free to use the quote. I'm not sure if I should have attributed it to Boswell, seeing as I took it from his column, but since its a quote and not something he wrote, I think its ok, right?
"Russ Grimm would swallow his dip by halftime and throw up on somebody's shoes. Jeff Bostic and Mark May were fighting about who'd missed an assignment. And man did Riggo stink from his hangover. But we got it done." -- TE Donnie Warren
