Come on Lennie. Keep matriculating that ball downfield!!

Another Steelers first round pick. More memorable than Gary Glick

 

[LionJim]

Interesting: Hank Stram was a Purdue assistant coach while Dawson was there.

A great QB during his era. Should have had two rings. God bless him and his family.

Great show btw - very good at analyzing the teams' strengths each week. Now I have to watch people yelling and backslapping each other.

Was my "other team" back in the 60s. Loved those SB teams. A whole lot more fun than rooting for the hapless Eagles!

What makes that pic even greater is that it was taken at halftime of Super Bowl I.

Why Chiefs QB Len Dawson was smoking at halftime of Super Bowl I, and how it became immortalized

A quarterback smoking at halftime of the Super Bowl? Unheard of these days. But it happened at the very first edition, and here's what led to the moment being photographed.

Looks good, because of my hearing problems it's hard to understand the talking on my tablet..I'm going to find this video on the large tv, put my ear phones on and enjoy.
