Like many young people of my generation in Alabama, I’d heard of Kenny Stabler as far back as I can remember hearing of anyone who wasn’t family.
University of Alabama quarterbacks were famous, even then, and Stabler came along during a golden era, the next in a line that included Pat Trammell and Steve Sloan and the prodigious Joe Namath.
What’s more, Stabler stayed in the public eye well after his Alabama career, thanks to his NFL exploits with the Oilers and the Saints, but especially with the Oakland Raiders.
