The old AFL greats are dying off.

 

AS for the field, those grass / dirt fields didn't produce any ACL injuries.

 

Plus they are softer to land on and no rug burns.


It’s part of growing old.  Celebrities you enjoyed watching perform passing away.  Just think of the icons lost in the last couple of years:  John Madden, Eddie Van Halen, Bette White, Bill Russell and now Christine McVie.

My first Bills game!

 

RIP. 

Mine too, I think? October 17, 1966. 17-17 tie with San Diego. That's the game where kicker Booth Lusteg (a UConn product) missed three field goals, including a 23 yarder to win the game, with six seconds left, after the Bills came back from a 17-0 deficit.

The field looks like it's in great shape!

 

 

Yeah!!  Why don't we have natural turf in Buffalo?

If we had that turf - and it froze in Nov-Dec-January - all the players would scream for an artificial surface!

Hadl was one of my favs - & #21 at QB was so strange back in the day.  RIP & thanks for the great memories!
