Great BLOG!!!!!! by Rich Cimini on Curtis Martin

This is really good stuff.

One of the toughest running backs to suit it up.

Seems like yesterday that he ate the Raiders alive in an exhibition in Oakland (in 1995) and you had the feeling Parcells had hit a home run.

 

Like almost everything Cimini does, this was God-awful.

He also forgot to mention how he got his ass kicked on the story.

 

Hey look everyone! It's the Mike Freeman wannabe!

 

Some glowing praise of Martin from Parcells in a fine column by Tiki Barber's favorite writer, Gary Myers:

Good stuff about Curtis. I still find it amazing he played just one year of high school football for my mom's alma mater, Allderdice High before moving on to Pitt to battle with the immortal, to me, Billy West. I bet he ate a ton of Aiello's like we all should.

Great career. The NFL is losing three of the "classiest" (which in general parlance means black guys who are eloquent and Corey Dillon-esque in respect to the law) RBs in my short attention span in a year: Bettis, Barber and Martin.

 

Corey Dillon-esque with respect to the law?

 

Very nice piece.

Thanks for the link BYH

 

wow great story . thanks for linking BYH.

Its always amazing to me when you read about kids overcoming incredible obstacle's thrown at them in their young lives.

It make the mothers who fret over the fact that their son got a c on his 4th grade math test or did not complete his 10 pages of consonants seem so frivolous.
