BTW, if you live in Austin, care about sports, and have never heard of Richard "Night Train" Lane, you owe it to yourself to drop everything and spend the next 20 minutes googling his story.

Richard "Night Train" Lane is Austin's best athlete *story,* by a country mile. He was abandoned by a junkie mother in a dumpster and raised by a woman who found him there. He was a mensch, in every respect, to the end of his days. Football HoFer and a fine man. But a hair below Russ, for me.
