- Contexto
- We learned about that early in camp that first year, 1976. First thing in the morning, we’d get to the training room to get taped up and Curtis would walk in and, I swear to God, he had a faced that would stop an eight-day clock. Just gnarled and lined and looked … just scary. Eddie McMillan, the old corner we picked up from the Rams, gave Mike the nickname “Face.”
