OK, it was a long time ago. But how could they ignore Willie Heston?
To start the healing process I spoke to John Kryk (NFL beat writer, historian, author of Natural Enemies and Stagg vs. Yost) about the career and legacy of the great Heston. He also shares his thoughts and memories of Bo’s phenomenal WR Anthony Carter. Watch/listen:
