February 6, 201511 yr ...when the shot gun was cutting edge....(originally run by the 49ers, I believe)...................and when to blitz was to red dog.
February 6, 201511 yr When the NFL took "The Duke" stamp off of the footballs.... When wide receivers and running backs wore thigh pads and knee pads in their pants...
February 6, 201511 yr When the NFL took "The Duke" stamp off of the footballs.... When wide receivers and running backs wore thigh pads and knee pads in their pants... The footballs still have "The Duke" on them. It's the nickname of the late Giants owner Wellington Mara.
February 6, 201511 yr If you watched the 1967 Championship game aka "The Ice Bowl" I wanted Dallas to win.
February 6, 201511 yr ... Leroy was the name of the best running back in the league and the Steelers were bottom dwellers. Now that's what I call "the good old days." (sorry Pittsburgh fans--that actually is a backhanded compliment if you think about it) :sneaky:
February 6, 201511 yr ... if you remember when Pittsburgh running backs were named Frenchy and Franco. ... if a certain smallish blocking back from Pittsburgh comes to mind when you hear the name "Rocky." or even older if the name "Rocky" makes you lament the worst trade in Tribe history that brought a curse on the team.
February 7, 201511 yr The footballs still have "The Duke" on them. It's the nickname of the late Giants owner Wellington Mara. Yes, I know that. It was originally named "The Duke" when it was first introduced in 1941. In 1970 the NFL started using a Wisdom football that didn't have "The Duke" on it. The stamp didn't return until 2006. You must just not be of that certain age...
February 7, 201511 yr When players didn't have their names on the backs of their jerseys. Vince Ferragamo, Bob Lilly, Golden Richards, Charlie Joiner, Doug Buffone, Jim O'Brien, Harold Carmichael, Mercury Morris, Craig Morton, Bobby Douglass, Boobie Clark, Mel Renfro and Herb Adderly- all guys I remember fondly. How about getting the team helmet logos on the inside of Gatorade bottle-caps and collecting them?
February 8, 201511 yr I was going to mention... when the Bengals running back was named Boobie (History beat me to it)
February 8, 201511 yr If you watched the 1967 Championship game aka "The Ice Bowl" I wanted Dallas to win. Me too! I became a Dallas Cowboy fan on this New Year's Eve a long time ago.
February 8, 201511 yr I was going to mention... when the Bengals running back was named Boobie (History beat me to it) When the backs nickname was the "Express"
February 8, 201511 yr Yes, I know that. It was originally named "The Duke" when it was first introduced in 1941. In 1970 the NFL started using a Wisdom football that didn't have "The Duke" on it. The stamp didn't return until 2006. You must just not be of that certain age... No, I'm not old.
February 8, 201511 yr No, I'm not old. Then perhaps you should listen to us old guys in this thread instead of trying to correct us on stuff you weren't around for.
