YA Tittle

[themistocles]

I had forgotten about this old famed photograph. Old American football player YA Tittle, late in his career, helmet ripped off, bloody, bruised, and looking every bit at the end of his career. Pretty arresting photograph.

Old-time football, baby.

Less pads, less rules.

Funny to think that until the '58 or '59 title game that Tittle played in, virtually nobody gave a crap about the NFL.

Television made the NFL. Funny how television lends itself to football (I refuse to differentiate it from the faggy eurotrash game as "US Football" or some such nonsense) and not baseball.

LOL, now I can watch my rep sink lower than Lenny's used to be, eh? :rofl:

Exactly so.

Ya, baseball is still a great radio sport, especially with the right announcer. I was spoiled here in Pittsburgh with Bob Prince growing up.

Something about the pace of the game and warm weather.

The league just set some new rules to protect offensive players. ;)

Baltimore Colts Football Quarterback Legend
Inducted Pro Football Hall of Fame 1979

Finally, one fateful day in February of 1956, the lucky call came. The Baltimore Colts were interested in what Johnny might be able to do for them.

They saw. They liked. They bought. The $7,000 contract was a far cry from the $3 a game he had been making in his dusty field. So began a 17-year career with the Colts. The 1958 title game in which Unitas took the Colts on two 80-yard drives to beat the New York Giants 23-17 is considered by many as the greatest pro football game ever played.

This is because our Sinsinnasty Bungles QB was wasted by the Shittsburgh Stealers on his first play in our first playoff game in something like fifteen(15) years. Still recovering.

That first pic of Tittle is what I looked like today after doing a mulch job and pulling the hell out of my groin/inner thigh. OUCH.

There are too many rules to protect offensive players already.
