There's Only One Diesel

[monk81]

Okay, so it's the offseason and there's very little football news available until
July when training camps begin. So I'd like to get a little annoyance out of the way. I don't know how many of you follow basketball, well I do, and it just annoys me to know end to hear Shaq called "the diesel". There is ONLY one DIESEL and that's John Riggins. Some of you may be too young to have gotten to know him. Although wacky with the mohawk haircut, outspoken comments, "Regan may be the President, but today I'm king", or "loosen up Sandy baby" to Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, you could never question Riggins heart when it came to football. He'd be in a hospital all week with back pain, but come Sunday, he was out on the field giving his all. I have the VHS tape from the Redskin Superbowls, and the you just want to stand up and cheer when you hear the announcer say, "HERE COMES THE DIESEL" as they show Riggins Super Bowll highlights. So to Shaq and the media, there is ONLY ONE "Diesel" and he played for the Redskins!!!!!!!! And here is a link on some Riggins highlights over the years.............ENJOY!!!
