In this area I, like most Maritimes, would support our cousins in the Boston States. I'll have to make sure I see the Lady Gaga Show. She was delicious in that Haunted Hotel tv series a couple of years ago. We'll be doing our usual here for Super Bowl night...dinner and a movie. I wouldn't mind seeing the Lady GaGa show, though...maybe it'll show up on youtube I went to the first NFL-AFL championship game, which I vaguely remember as being in 1966 or 1967 on assignment for the newspaper. I didn't know **** about football, really, and I still don't, but I went along with the sports writing team to LA to do quickie interviews of KC area fans who went out to see their team play Green Bay. I was "good" at approaching folks and getting quotes from them. I didn't see that much of the game, but I know the Chiefs were slaughtered. That was the first and last pro football game I watched. I only remember a couple of the players' names from those days, but they were biggies...Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke for Green Bay and Len Dawson for the Chiefs. Years ago while on a business trip (I think late-80's) I was standing in line at the ticket counter at Baltimore International airport. Guy in line in front of me turned around to look at something and I realized it was Johnny Unitas. He was already somewhat hobbled over and moved with some difficulty. I remember looking up stats on him after that indicated he was 6'1" in his playing years. Definitely must have shrunk in retirement because I was almost a head taller than him. My other ancient football memory was from your neck of the woods ... Les Shaw's restaurant. The Detroit Lions and the New York Giants were in town to play an annual pre-season exhibition game. I worked at Les Shaw's at the time as a busboy and the owner invited me to have breakfast on game day with the Lions who had reserved the place for the pre-game meal. Sat between Joe Don Looney and some other huge player who's name I can't remember. I met Fran Tarkenton as a kid. It was a book signing with my parents. Which of you was the kid? :) He was older than both of my parents. |
