Stacy had a bad knee injury as I recall. Brooks was voted MVP of the 95 Monarchs by the British writers, despite averaging 2.9 ypc. Brad Johnson was the QB of that team. Also interesting, Tony and I did commentary on the first ever American football game in Africa, in Tanzania a couple of years ago…
