Very good story! I don't know if I am just becoming a big sensitive baby, but it brought goose bumps and slight emotion. Effing allergies, let me tell you! Anyway, if some of you haven't read it already, its a wonderful read.

So, Murtaugh kept pressing the issue: The Husker family wanted to help Humm. The 61-year-old Humm wanted nothing of it. Finally, Murtaugh asked him: If we're so close -- you know, brothers and all -- then why in the hell won't you let your family of ex-Huskers help you?

Humm fell silent for about 30 seconds. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1988 at age 35, the Las Vegas resident requires 24-hour care.

"Dave said, 'All right, I'll allow it if you use me to help others, if that means making commercials or getting in front of a camera, whatever. I need to help others worse off than me,'" Murtaugh recalled.

Several former Raiders have stepped up. Plunkett, Stabler, Fred Biletnikoff and Bill Romanowski are among those who have made donations and offered support. A slew of ex-Raiders and ex-Huskers will be on hand for a benefit golf outing June 17 in Las Vegas.
