Bill Rhoden On Sports (brospod)

Bill and Jamal welcome Sherman Howard, age 90, and his daughter Vietta as they discuss his amazing new book. Mr. Howard is the oldest living African-American to have played in the National Football League. Sherman talks about his life growing up in Louisiana, migrating at a young age to Chicago, rubbing elbows and being influenced by the likes of Jack Johnson and Jesse Owens. He talks about playing college football at Iowa, transferring to Nevada, playing in the NFL with the New York Yankees (who became the Baltimore Colts), then the Cleveland Browns. Perhaps Mr. Howard's most difficult assignment was trying to make a football player out of Bill Rhoden at Chicago's Harlan High School. He may not have succeeded on the football front, but he turned out to be a pretty good journalist. Join us for this and more on another addition of Bill Rhoden on Sports.
