I can still shoot some baskets with the kids. Its sad that he cant.
I wonder if his family has no regrets.

So many of these “tough guys” ended up being wimps.

They were being carried off and carted off many players concussions is from back then still haven’t gotten paid the NFL didn’t care and don’t care now so what’re the big deal now.

I have followed the Houston Oilers and now Tennessee Titans ever since! The Tyler Rose…Earl Campbell the pride of Tyler, Texas ! Thank you for sacrificing your body for the game Earl, you were an amazingly powerful running back and deserve the Hall of Fame both in pro and college football that you have been inducted in! Anyone reading this who is young, go to YouTube and watch Earl Campbell highlights! Now that is a man running the ball !

He was a once in a generation physical specimen and I’ll admit it was painful to the point of bringing tears to my eyes seeing him limp around and that was a few years ago. Offer a man such as he your admiration as opposed to your pity. He surely deserves no less

I have watched football since 1968 and i have never seen a tougher son of a gun than Earl and now he is the poster boy for men of the NFL ,men that knew the risk and got paid accordingly god bless Earl Campbell,

He should be commended for his integrity but many will condemn him for his unwillingness to blame (and ultimately sue) the NFL for anything/everything wrong with him.
