I'll always call them the Redskins. Didn't Snyder say he would never change the name?

Hacksaw Reynolds was my favorite. I even requested his number when I played, and tried to play like him. Wasn't that good, but I had a lot of fun.

The irony is the Natives petitioned to have it changed back. So the white liberals really look stupid now don’t they?

Lake Speed is up there. Particularly if he raced the salt flats.

The first time I ever heard of Bronko Nagursky was when travelling in southern Ontario with my grandfather in the mid 1960s. We stopped at a gas station in or near International Falls that had a memorial to him. His daughter may pumped our gas.

Even better was at some congressional dinner Riggins was at, he allegedly told Judge Sandra Day O'Connor... "Loosen up, Sandy Baby !" I suspect a few cocktails had been consumed.
