ESPN 30-for-30 Short on John Tuggle - LuckE2Bhere - 08-03-2013

I'm apologize if this brings back painful emotions for some of you, and I'm sorry to say that I didn't remember John Tuggle when I saw this come on today.

I've never been a big fan of the New York Giants or Bill Parcels, and I'm certainly not K.al's biggest fan, but I found this to be quite inspiring (not to mention tear-tempting), so I thought I'd share the link: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=9120618

EDIT: Couldn't see the video or link when this posted, so I'll try again this way... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=9120618
If it still doesn't show up for you, try the following link, and then click Watch: http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=the-irrelevant-giant

I had the chance to spend some time and have a lot of laughs with John Tuggle at Irrelevant Week in 1983 (when he was awarded the Lowsman Trophy) and again in 1985. He was very gracious to share the spotlight with me during Irrelevant Week in 1983, one of the most fun experiences of my life.

A very good man. That film represents him well, and is consistent with my memory of him.

I recently watched a replay of the 1982 Big Game. The guy was just a bull carrying the football. It was a vicarious thrill for many of us when he made the NY Giants roster.
