It's safe to say that Clarence Clemons found his life's calling. Belting out notes on the sax for Springsteen's crew has made for a decent job — fame, millions of dollars, and looking completely badass. But Clemons was one car accident away from a career move that might have changed the course of rock forever, a choice that would have had the Boss introducing someone named Clive or Joe or Tommy on the horns instead of The Big Man.
Clemons, you see, might have played for the Cleveland Browns.
