As many of you may know, I recently wrote a book about Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame offensive guard Larry Little. In today’s podcast episode, we will take a brief look at his pro football career. My book is entitled From the Outhouse to the Penthouse: The Football Journey of Hall of Famer Larry Little. It’s an aptly titled book, because when he first began playing organized football, practically nobody would have expected him to make it as far as he did in the annals of the sport......
