Las Vegas/Denver Notes

In the opening game/week of the 2023 NFL season, there was a clash between teams representing the cities that won the recent NHL and NBA crowns.

I wonder if that had ever transpired?!

Someone do the research, write in and win a “prize” of gratitude.

It was Las Vegas, the city housing the NHL champion, Golden Knights, defeating Denver, the home of the NBA title winning Nuggets.

The NFL teams are the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos, long time rivals, each an original AFL team and thus in their 64th season.

I thought that Ted Cassidy, pictured above had played for the Oakland Raiders.

Apparently he did not. (Many interesting players did!)

Research revealed Ted was a Dallas area reporter and was on the tragic scene, that day, now almost 60 years ago.
