Comments on: So says CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf about one-legged wonder Carl Joseph. Now Carl’s unprecedented exploits have been memorialized in this video, using old game footage that had been lost to Carl for the last 29 years. The video shows why Carl Joseph was a legend in his own time. From sacking quarterbacks to dunking basketballs, he didnt let the mere absence of a leg stop him from competing as an equal and even excelling in high school sports. His story of faith, courage and heart inspired millions on TV in the early 1980s.

It IS still cool though. But I don't like it when a person surviving adversity makes them a great person. If someone from a poorer household accomplished all the same things as I have, would they be a better person? All I'm saying is I don't see how this makes him "twice the man as some of us".

And, come on, the guy pogos on one leg and STILL catches ballcarriers from behind, and dunks a basketball--you really think he benefitted from coaches' sympathy? And other players? Fuck's sake, they go after guys' knees, so I hardly think that they say, "let's take it easy on the guy with one leg" when their team is losing. Get a fucking grip. This isn't about giving out "everybody tries" ribbons. It’s not just surviving adversity; it’s excelling when you’re not even expected to try.
