Hi Deb,

Smith is definitely one of the greatest, if not THE greatest. I remember quite a few years ago when the Cowboys had a great running back by the name of Robert Newhouse. If I'm not mistaken at one time they were boasting that he had 44" thighs. I remember watching him run, and taking at least two linemen with him most of the time. His legs were so powerful that they couldn't bring him down unless they hit him really low.

What was that fellow's name who played for Houston, the "Rose of Tyler Texas?" Campbell? What that it? And then we have to remember the old familiar saying, "There goes Riggins!" The Redskins called him back off of a farm somewhere in Missouri or Kansas to win the Superbowl for them, and he did it.
