I was a big Oilers fan in junior high. I always liked Bum Phillip’s approach to football. Give the ball to Earl Campbell and watch him run. The Oilers had some good receivers too. They had the bad luck of competing when Bradshaw and the Steelers were dominating the NFL.
Article on Bum’s life and career.
Good-by Mr Phillips see you on the other side.
I had to work every Sunday in 1971 to 1977, but I would listen to the Oilers games on radio between customers. loved those Houston Oilers and even if Bum Phillips lost he never gave up.
Mr Phillips became a Christian a few years ago and witnessed to many at a prison in Louisiana.
“May he visit his family and friends and loved ones and with an angel by his side say a small sincere of prayer of faith with each and everyone”
