For comparison to our resident authority (^. ^), here’s another opinion. -
Why is Joe Namath in the HOF?
Chandler#81 replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Like all of your verbose ramblings, you’re long on verbiage, short on facts. The Beatles are widely considered the greatest band ever, then and still. Their albums Still rank high on sales 50 years after breaking up. They first appeared on Sullivan February 9th, 1964. Namath was Drafted in the 1st Round of ‘65. Hardly the ‘end of the era’. -

Why is Joe Namath in the HOF?
Chandler#81 replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
NY’s Defense was special in that era, make no mistake. I remember them well. Cleveland was the only team to beat Baltimore in ‘68 and the Colts took it very personal by trouncing them in the title game 34-0. Jets had no such problem with the vaunted Colt Defense. Joe consistently led long time consuming drives, most of which turned into points. Jets great Defense was actually pretty pathetic on the super Sunday, as the Colts screamed up & down the field with huge gains all day. They just couldn’t finish drives as Morrall had 3 picks & Johnny U had 1. Maynard reinjured his hamstring on the 1st play and wasn’t thrown to again all day. Sauer had his way with the Colt CB all day and Snell rushed for over 100 yrds. Challenging my knowledge of the AFL is done at your own peril. I’ll embarrass you.😉 -

I’m surprised -and frankly disappointed in this thread. Your only saving grace may be your age (not old enough to know better).The number 1 reason a player gets voted into the HOF is if he changed the game during his career. Joe Willie Whiteshoes altered the pro game as few others have. The most gifted passer to ever come out of college, he was given a jaw-dropping rookie contract to sign with the AFL during the player wars of the early/mid ‘60s. Truly staggering for the time, it gave absolute legitimacy to the upstart League. This was an era where the best pro players had to have offseason jobs just to sustain. Watching him throw a football was a wonder to behold. More awe-inspiring than the rookie Marino would do 20 years later. His signing and the national hoopla surrounding him literally forced the merger of the 2 Leagues -something no other upstart League has done since. In just his 5th year, he led his team to the undisputed greatest upset in sports history. A million+ nfl players since owe and have paid a great debt of gratitude to him for their personal opportunity. Using today’s passing stats have nothing to do with the awesome fear he struck in every opponent he faced. He was one if the very few in the Leagues’ first half century who was a threat on every play. So, if you’re an uniformed Whippersnapper, you get a mulligan on this unwitting snafu. If not, turn in your man card. -

He (Dwayne Johnson) announced he and all family members have Covid-19. Apparently, they’re all doing as well as can be expected. I hope it doesn’t have long term effects in his sense of smell..
