Pretty sure we played against this guy in early '60's. Star QB at Pitt. We used to have a lot of trouble with Pitt back then.

Any truth to the old story that he used his hair in place of a helmet?

he was injured when he was supposed to play against us in 1961 (Mira's first game). I don't believe he played in that game at all.

Well, the world is a less colorful place with the passing of James Traficant. Full of **** and vinegar, he had no problem meaning what he said, and saying what he means... Truth be damned if necessary...

James at his finest:
