Joe Perry, what a great guy. At his simple home in Chandler Az he would play football in the streets with the kids in the neighborhood. I would watch him and he could still move well late into his 70's. A Friend for a long time. I will miss him.

No disrespect to The Jet, but it was a completely different game back then. Defenses weren't a fraction as complex as they are now and a superior athlete like Joe Perry could run wild. These days, schemes and game planning can make inferior athletes shut down better athletes.
R.I.P. Joe Perry
And OTOH - he got his yards playing 12 games a season, and sharing the ball with two other HOF runners. With the exception of Jim Brown, he was the greatest running back I ever saw. RIP, indeed.
