John Riggins to be featured on 'A Football Life'

[REDSKINS4ever]

Riggo was one of a kind. A tough hard nosed runner that could barrel over defensive linemen and linebackers. As a youngster I enjoyed watching him play.

I always loved how he would score a TD and then hand the ball to the referee. No spiking. No dancing (that would have been ugly). He jest went about his business. And the clear message was: this is what I do, and I will be here again.

We need more guys like that in the league.

(Caveat: I will give Alfmo his homerun swing given that he dedicated it to a little league baseball team he met in the preseason.)

I loved that about Riggo too. Always acted like he had been there before whenever he scored. I particularly liked it when he handed the ball to one of the Hogs and let them spike it and get a little well deserved limelight.
