#TBT That time Randall Cunningham left a preseason game at halftime for a Caribbean getaway with Whitney Houston
This generation may not know it but there was a time in the late 80s when Randall Cunningham was considered potentially to become the Michael Jordan of the NFL. His dazzling style of play had never been seen from the QB position and his popularity grew with every highlight.
Cunningham would frequent all the celebrity parties of the era and even had his own Talk Show (similar to the Arsenio Hall Show).
Whitney Houston was the Beyonce of the era and Randallâs teammates said he would do anything to get with her.
Hereâs a quote from one of his former teammates Gary Cobb:
âRandall went after her with everything he had. He was giving her roses, wine, a limousine,â Cobb said. âRandall was trying everything he could, but he just wasnât Whitneyâs type of guy. I wasnât surprised she got with Bobby Brown. She liked a guy with a little street.â
