There's no actual source for this, but I believe it

lol I have often thought about this on the goal line… the only question is.. would it be allowed? If so, it wouldn’t be allowed for long.. so you’d want to save it for a really important play.

After reading and seeing the epic story of him at Pearl Harbor, I wouldn’t say this is out of the realm of possibilities

It would violate the rules:

quote:

Article 2 - Interfering for or Helping the Ball Carrier or Passer
a. The ball carrier or passer may use their hand or arm to ward off or push opponents.
b. The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate; and no other teammate shall grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress. (A.R. 9-3-2-I)
c. Teammates of the ball carrier or passer may interfere with opponents by blocking but shall not use interlocked interference by grasping or encircling one another in any manner while contacting an opponent.

The college football world just isn’t as bright without The Pirate.

A better story is the Fake Play Sheet he "accidentally" dropped at the Cotton Bowl.

Most here are probably too young to remember when Walter Payton would go into complete god mode and leap over the entire line

What would happen if the defense catches the “little person” in air.. like a bad pass?

Hilarious! He was one of kind. Met him once at the airport during a weather delay. All flights grounded so just hanging out at the food court and he’s sitting right next to me. He and his wife couldn’t have been nicer people entertaining a complete stranger. Even made dinner recommendations for where I was heading.
