Was it really that great?
At this point I have to question whether it was even real.

It never ceases to amaze me this continued worship of Billy Cannon A CONVICTED CRIMINAL. The run obviusly was memorable but that does not forgive his counterfiting..

You young guys have no concept of how much of a freak Cannnon was in his day. I ran track against him in high school. He won what would now be the 5A state title in the 100 and shot on the same day. There was one player (offensive lineman) bigger than him on the 58 team and he ran the hundred in 9.8. He ran over 6 players on that punt return.

you may have not forgiven him, but the courts and society have...he served his time and rehabbed his image. i'm not even sure it's still a crime to print $50 million in counterfit money.
