DALLAS -- His Pittsburgh Steelers teammates had a surprise for Flozell Adams when he got to the airport for the team's chartered flight to Super Bowl XLV.
They were all wearing No. 76 Michigan State jerseys, circa Adams' sterling career at the Big Ten school in the 1990s.
"I had no idea," Adams, Pittsburgh's starting right tackle, said Monday upon arrival at the team's Fort Worth hotel. "It was special for them to bring back the throwbacks and they're all still walking around here with 'em on."
It was a nice gesture for Adams, to be sure, but wouldn't No. 76 Dallas Cowboys jerseys have been a better touch?
After all, this was Flozell "The Hotel" Adams, the 6-foot-7, 338-pound whipping post of Cowboys fans for the better part of the last decade. Adams may have gone to some Pro Bowls, but he was the most penalized offensive lineman in the league during his previous 12 seasons, and the big fella did not discriminate when it came to flags. Holding penalties, false starts, tripping, personal fouls ... whatevs.
