Criminal convictions
In November 1970, Rentzel was arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl in University Park, a suburb of Dallas. His wife, singer/actress Joey Heatherton, divorced him shortly thereafter. Four years earlier, as a Viking, a similar incident occurred on a Minnesota playground. He was charged with disorderly conduct in exchange for promising to seek psychiatric treatment. He was subsequently traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Preceding the 1971 season, the Cowboys traded him to the Rams for Billy Truax and Wendell Tucker. In 1973, while on probation for the indecent exposure charge, he was arrested for possession of marijuana. NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle suspended him for the entire 1973 season, but allowed him to return for a final season with the Rams in 1974 before he retired.
As a Dallas Cowboy fan I remember him and his arrest. Also the requisite joke with
all that. What’s Lance Rentzel’s favorite pass pattern? Zip, down and out.
I’m probably the biggest fanboy of Lance threads… I don’t often comment because I haven’t gone on to read all 1 million pages of literature like others on this forum… So I just sit back and watch (lurker… yeah) as both sides discuss…
However, with this post… I see where slowman was coming from… It appears that it is starting to clog the front page with useless threads… If you wanted a funny play on word thread you should probably scroll down to where people were posting pictures of other lances… same idea… but this now is just becoming a little over the top…
