Not bad for a banker’s son from Sweetwater, a Texas town that JBL claims is renown for its annual “Rattlesnake Roundup.” (He still laughs at the time the Humane Society picketed the event—“We weren’t cruel to the snakes. We just caught ’em and killed ’em.”) Snakeskin, however, is no match for pigskin in Sweetwater; football is the town’s prime pastime, and the sport that fueled two of JBL’s three teenage aspirations (“playing football at Abilene Christian University, going pro, and becoming rich”). He’d earn impressive All-American honors as an offensive tackle at Abilene, though lingering knee problems would limit his second dream to less than a year with the NFL’s then-Los Angeles Raiders, and two seasons as part of the World League’s San Antonio Riders
