An NFL "War Horse" celebrates his 83rd BDAY

[retiredaztec]

For all you other old farts who might remember him , today is George Blanda's 83 birthday. Carumba!

I know talk centers on Brett Favre's age as some big deal , but what were you doing at age 48? Besides kicking field goals, if duty called, think you could pick up your helmet and QB an NFL offense?

This man was truly from a different era. Happy birthday Blandman!

Apparently not much, 'cause he died today after a "short illness". Bummer. Anybody interested who hasn't a clue who he was read his bio. He really was one of a kind from a totally different era.

RIP Blandman!
