The thought of kicking straight-on and shoeless is hard to think of, let alone even attempt!

Crosby said he’d point his toes upward and kick the ball just below the arched toes and “ball” of his foot.

Hook’em!!!

How would it be? He didn't lead with or hit Bomar with his head. That's a clean tackle.  

Yes, it's a clean tackle but in today's football Robinson would have to "let up" and not drive Bomar to the ground.

drove him into the ground, full weight onto the qb.  Not saying I like it, but I can definitely see it being a penalty nowadays.

How did you get to be called "Cotton?"
When I was born I had white hair, and I grew up in Brownsville. My mothers' family, who was from Illinois, wanted to name me "Frosty." Being in the valley, it stuck as "Cotton." Again, thank God it wasn't "Frosty." That's really how I got it. I had white hair when I was young.
