Roosevelt Rosey Grier to launch fearsome run for governor

[TexasTowelie]

It won’t look like the recall, but the 2018 governor’s race will have a little celebrity sizzle.

Roosevelt “Rosey” Grier, the former defensive lineman who made up one quarter of the Los Angeles Rams’ “Fearsome Foursome” in the 1960s, said he intends to run for governor of California.

“I think we can do a lot of good,” Grier, an 84-year-old Republican, told the Los Angeles Times in a recent interview. “I’ve spent my life serving my fellow man. I thought I would continue doing that.”

Grier has held a number of positions since his playing days, including working as a bodyguard for Robert F. Kennedy when he was shot by Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1968.
