Hopalong Cassidy Meets Dick Butkus: The "Sugarfoot" Story

Thanks to another in a long line of neat twists of phrase by Stephen King, one of my favorite answers when someone asks me how I'm doing is, "I'm busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest." Well, that phrase takes on new meaning when you consider the story of Carl "Sugarfoot" Joseph, a recent inductee to the Florida High School Athletics Hall of Fame.

I can't do as much justice to Joseph as the video can (there's even a requisite Dan Queerdorf quote included), so going against my normal tendency, I'm going to shut up and let the images speak for themselves.
