George Blanda

I was sad to see that he had passed away.
Hall of Famer-Blanda is an old Alabama Grad. 6 foot 2 and 215-225lbs.

I used to love to watch Blanda relieve Lamonica in the last 60's 70's.
He would come in and lead comebacks time after time.

I never disliked the Raiders and respected what they did. I could never pull for them over a NFC team, but I always pulled for them over the Dolphins and Steelers.

He looked like he was approaching 60 when he was still playing.
