I was looking at the football roster on the FAU web site.

Did anyone know that Vinnie Henderson is related to Brian Piccolo? Which may not be too odd. I just found out Piccolo grew up in Ft Lauderdale and had 2 brothers. This might be one of his brother's grandson.

I think thats pretty cool.

Most of the readers of this board probably don't know who Brian Piccolo is/was.

The baby boomers know about him.

For the youngsters. Billy Dee Williams and James Caan as Chicago Bears' Gayles Sayers and Brian Piccolo.
IMHO, one of the best sports movies ever made.
Long before The Program, Remember The Titans or Bring It On.. ;D


Classic movie line by a slowly health declining Brian….
