I saw Earl in person many times for the Oilers. Just a blast to watch him maul people. I was at his last game. Saints vs Pats in the Superdome. The o line opened some holes but Earl couldn't get through them. He retired after that game. It was preseason and he knew he was finished.

I did. You’re an all-around piece of shite. There’s no debating that fact.

I watched the Hulk Hogan documentary. I was never a big fan but my sons were of that age. Sad to see him at the end.
