I remember during the last few years of his career we'd all wait for those field goal situations and then root, "Come on, George, get another one!" His longevity in a sport that chews up players like popcorn was just amazing.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: R.I.P., George Blanda" The quarterback and the kicker - that's about half the team right there in one guy. RIP George. Vaya con Dios.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 8129 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-01-10, 08:17 AM (EST) 3. "RE: R.I.P., George Blanda" You know, when I think of Blanda, I always think of fellow Hall-of-Famer Lou "The Toe" Groza along with him. Groza played for the Browns starting in 1946 and ending in 1967 at age 43, although he retired as an offensive tackle after the 1959 season (and sat out 1960 to get away from non-kicking duties). Groza and Blanda were both still active when Pete Gogolak came into the NFL and changed kicking forever. They were among the last of the great kicker/players, along with Green Bay's Paul Hornung and Baltimore's Lou Michaels. After them came an era of exclusive kickers, After them came the all-purpose kickers (both placekicker and punter) such as Don Chandler and Don Cockroft, and then came the specialists, as we have today.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
