Ah, you must have been a fan of The Purple People Eaters! Even though I was born in Chicago, Fran Tarkenton was my childhood idol and I thought Bud Grant was the toughest human on the planet. The first NFL game I ever watched was Super Bowl IX. Damn I’m old
Haha. I’m watching the Mich-OSU game while my wife and two daughters are getting their hair and nails done for a wedding. Believe me, dude, I wouldn’t want to do anything else!
Dude! You didn’t actually flex that, did you? All before WW2. No way you can seriously claim 1960 when Minnesota loses the Rose Bowl by 10 points. Come on, man. 🤣
