Y.A. Tittle
moments before dying on the field, in uniform at age ninety. Will TFB go fifty more and match this?

Cheers

The good old days.

Tittle completes 16 of 20 for 261 yards and three touchdowns, with nary an interception.....a passer rating of PERFECTION of 158.3 at the age of 37. The Bald Eagle had played in 9 of the first ten games of the 1963 season and completed 156 of 255 for 2,263 yards, with 27 going for touchdowns, and just 4 intercepted. A passer rating of 118.8—.but there are storm warnings on the horizon.....over the course of the last four games he completes 65 of 112 for 882 yards, with 9 touchdowns, and 10 intercepted; a rating of 72.8. Why the drop-off? Forcing passes? December weather? This is going to be the veteran Giants last chance to win a title.

Before there was a Patriots team, like most around here I followed the Giants. YA Tittle and Sam Huff were my favorite players.
