I hope I don't have to go another 30 years without talking to Kenny Stabler. Fact is, I would like to sit down with him now and talk at length, maybe even sign a document forbidding any public discussion. I am a curious person and I would like to know some off-the-record things. I would like to know that if he had to do it again, would he invite me to Gulf Shores?
Since the column I ran this morning several people have asked me if I think Stabler should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He shouldn't, not because he wasn't great. Stabler was a great quarterback but he wasn't great long enough. He needed superior longevity and he didn't have it and I would have voted for him if he had.
But I have truly no ill will toward him and I say that without joking. Life is too short. I know both of us have better things to do than carrying grudges against the other.
