Happy birthday to the ๐, Earl Campbell, who turns 65 today. Earl bulldozed his way to 8,574 yards and 73 touchowns in his 7 seasons in Houston, and he made 5 Pro Bowls and 3 All-Pro teams along the way. A true Oiler legend 3๏ธโฃ4๏ธโฃ

QB Steve McNair's life was stolen from him. Anger and sadness doesn't begin to describe that moment. He was only 36. But on this day, Oiler Nation celebrates the life of Steve LaTreal McNair

Today, we remember Steve McNair, who passed on this date in 2009 in Nashville. He was only 36
Steve was one of the toughest men to ever play the game of football. He was also one of the most beloved.

In a game featuring two of the NFL's best teams, the Oilers use a late Ken Burrough TD catch from Dante Pastorini to take down the Cowboys 30-24 at Texas Stadium. Enjoy this 61-yard TD run by the Tyler Rose

Here is Earl Campbell's 81-yard TD romp which put the

ahead for good late in the 4th quarter. The Tyler Rose was obviously gassed after this one as this was his 28th and toughest carry of the ballgame on the pipes

Which NFL throwback jerseys are your favorites? It could be because you love the player, love the look of the team jersey or both.
Mine๐ So many great throwbacks, I easily could have listed around 20.
Would like an explanation as to why Lester Hayes is not in the Hall of Fame? His pedigree speaks for itself. A 2X Super Bowl champ, All-80s team. I'm not too much into stats as a reason, but DPOY in 1980 thanks to 13 (THIRTEEN) interceptions??? Come on now, so underrated
