LARRY GRANTHAM - NEW YORK JET LINEBACKER - ARKANSAS Former Pro Football player, Larry Grantham, from Horn Lake, Mississippi delivered this Alcoholics Anonymous talk at the 2nd Arkansas Traveler AA Round-up in September of 2001. His sobriety date is May 25th, 1986. Larry tells how he "experimented" with Mad Dog 20/20 as a teenager. He played college ball at Ol' Miss. He was drafted by the New York Jets around 1960. He played professional football for thirteen years. Larry says he was treated like a king during those years and his ego got way out of control. He tells of playing in Super Bowl Three with Joe Namath. Eventually his wife filed for divorce and listed "chronic alcoholism" on the divorce petition. Larry tells of the vicious cycle of drinking, getting sober, drinking, getting sober, etc. He finally prayed for God's help while on his knees in a jail cell. This was the beginning of recovery for Larry. He goes on to tell some good football stories and closes by reading something that had inspired him in early sobriety called, "The Rules of the Game."
