John Riggins to be featured on 'A Football Life'

That was tremendous! Really got to me....

Loved how he came out in full uniform when we was inducted into the team ring of fame. That's classic Riggo for you.

Yeah no shit
That was awesome

He had to hear it one more time!!

Just finished watching it, loved it. At the same time though I wish there was like an hour more of it. I'd like to know more about the Pardee era Riggins, and how he became a Redskin to begin with. And then how he felt about the trade for George Rogers, etc.

Funny story about John Riggins and me. Many moons ago I was like 8-9 years old and my dad was in the hospital getting surgery. One day I decide I want to call his room to talk to him. So I dial the number I've got written down and...well you know where this is going...I dialed the wrong room and John Riggins answered! He was getting operated on as well (back surgery I think). I was so nervous I literally threw the phone at my older brother for him to talk to Riggins. I think I just said "feel better" and that was it. He was really cool about it, "thank you, that's very nice of you" or something like that.
