“Days Of Yore,” Not Enough For Me To Watch

A (23-12) score (it was the Chargers “under-ing” the Niners as TD “dogs”–I know it is exhibition, but rather it– than 12 teams in the tournament baseball. Will get to baseball soon enough), evokes the 1965 NFL Title Game win by Green Bay (Packers), at home, vs the Cleveland Browns, in the great Jim Brown’s last game that really mattered. (He played in the subsequent Pro Bowl).

20/Twenty Three college “pig” begins today with pro commencing essentially in two weeks.

It is a season after the death of Jim Brown and at a time some sit eating chicken and rice, while so many gamble on NFL and college games.

In that ’65 title tilt, Paul Hornung, a true great, who as Jim did once, scored 5 touchdowns in a game (Gale Sayers in the Wrigley Field mud scored 6, on the same day late in the ’65 “reg”—you see I once loved this) sloshed through the muck and scored a key touchdown, called by the great broadcaster, Ted Moore.

Mr. Moore said it evoked “the days of yore.”

As IT starts today, those “days of yore” still resonate, but not enough for me to “mainline,” even watch this stuff.

I have said it before, if I can do it, so can you.

P.S. Some of IT, will cost you extra $$$–the latter what the NFL, Bronxville and its resident the NFL czar, Goodell are all about.

Above the great broadcaster, Ted Moore is pictured. The coat similar to one Coach Lombardi wore, does evoke, as Moore called it, “the days of yore.”
