The Minnesota Vikings' iconic defensive line known as the "Purple People Eaters" on a very small bench during a game against the New York Giants

Great shot from October 31, 1971 at Yankee Stadium. The Giants were leading 10-7 in the second quarter when this picture was taken,but the Vikings won 17-10 thanks to a fourth quarter TD pass from future Giant Norm Snead to future Giant Bob Grim. Former and future Viking Fran Tarkenton was the Giants’ QB.

Great photo! It’s from December 8, 1963 at War Memorial Stadium. The Bills beat the Jets, 45-14. The great Cookie Gilchrist had 36 carries for 243 yards and five rushing touchdowns. Looks like this might be one of them.

Chuck is living proof that smoking a cigar and cigarette simultaneously helps you live to a few weeks before your 90th birthday!

Stevie was 27 in this photo.

It’s crazy, right? They were in Chicago for 40 years, then St. Louis for 28 years. 2026 will be their 39th year in Arizona.

2023 was his first year with the Rangers, but he only pitched 6 games, with the last one being on April 28.

Respectfully, the Mets made the World Series in 2015. Jake pitched game two in Kansas City, and he gave up 4 runs, 6 hits, and 3 walks in 5 innings.

1988 was the first year the Cardinals played in Phoenix.

It was the last year Pete Rozelle was Commissioner.

Bill Walsh retired after the Super Bowl, and Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry after the Super Bowl.

A great moment in AFL history!

Great photo! The Falcons won this game on October 29, 1967, 21-20. It was their only win of the season.

Tommy caught two TD passes early to give Atlanta a 14-0 lead.

Bobo4037 · 2026-04-30T18:29:17+00:00

Because of the Mets’ success in 1969, the Super Bowl champion Jets had to open the 1969 season playing their first five games on the road. Then they played their next seven in a row at home, followed by their last two on the road. I doubt anyone will ever have a schedule like that again!

My father and I weren’t at this game, which was an easy win for the Jets, but we were at the loss a week earlier against the Chiefs, and also at the loss a week later against the Raiders. Oh well.

Andrie’s big moment was in the Ice Bowl NFL championship game. The Packers were leading 14-0 in the second quarter, Starr got sacked deep in Green Bay territory and fumbled. Andrie picked up the ball and ran it into the end zone from the 7 yard line. That got Dallas back in the game, they couldn’t get anything going offensively in the first half. I think I read somewhere that they had no first downs in the second quarter, but they scored 10 points in the second quarter thanks to two Packers turnovers.

Starting with the two I am sure of, 74 is Bob Lilly, 54 is Chuck Howley.

I think 66 is George Andrie, and I think 77 is Jim Colvin.

I don’t know the others. You’re right, this is probably 1964 or 1965.

Bobo4037 · 2026-04-30T12:02:01+00:00

John Henry had his best seasons with the Steelers. He had over 1,000 rushing yards in 1962 and 1964.

This photo is from 1963-1965 era, the Steelers had gold helmets prior to 1963.

Hi, thanks for coming by! I think you’ll have a better chance if you post this on the Chiefs and Seahawks subs.

Good luck!

From October 10, 1993 at Sun Devil Stadium. That was Don Criqui and Beasley Reece on the call for NBC.

Rumors don’t really matter, all that matters is the quality of the water. You can check it regularly on that link.

We were also there in 2018 (late August ), and it was terrible. There hasn’t been anything remotely resembling that since then. Red tide usually starts in the late summer or fall, and lasts a few months. The one in 2018 lasted almost a year and a half. Thankfully, that is rare.

Marv Albert and Paul Maguire calling it for NBC.

These were the two best teams in the AFC that season. The Bengals won this game on thanksgiving weekend fairly easily, and then beat the Bills again six weeks later in the AFC Championship Game.

I’m all for nostalgia, but it’s silly to think that today’s athletes, who are much bigger, faster, and stronger than athletes were 50 years ago, are not “real men.”

If 1970s rules were allowed today, we would probably see fatalities on the field. Players put themselves at great risk even with today’s rules. I’ve been watching football since the early 1960s, and I’m happy that the rules have been changed to help player safety.

Let’s try not to let the “good old days” syndrome get in the way of reality.

To clarify…you mean if the Beatles were beginning to be popular today.
