Multi-talented and a great representative of Penn State.
Happy Birthday, Rosey Grier. 91 today.

From the Fearsome Foursome to Hollywood to tackling Sirhan Sirhan to needlepoint and macrame to an ordained minister.
A life well lived.

Speaking of Chips, do you think Erik Estrada has veneers?
Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, Daniel Boone and others. And Chips.
ihe played back in the old days, iirc he came to PSU on a track scholarhip. (was awesome at the Penn Relays in the shot and discus) and walked on the football team. of course the rest is history
t Penn State, he won the IC4A and Penn Relays shot put and discus, as well as qualifying for the javelin finals, and was a Track & Field All-American in 1954 and 1955.[5]
Rosie Grier had no idea where football could take him when he arrived at Penn State. He came on a track and field scholarship. But his dominance on the defensive line led to a starring role with the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams. (Photo: Penn State University Intercollegiate Athletics)
He chose Penn State because it offered a track and field scholarship and wasn't too far from his new home. He tried to study music but became frustrated and dropped it. Instead, he simply sang his way into people's good graces. Even more, he showed a stunning potential in football where, at 240 pounds, he actually was larger than most everyone, which combined exquisitely with his quickness and agility.
