ThunderbirdJet Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I got one foot in the grave too...... the upside is I can remember the Jets winning a super bowl. Other than that, being an old bastard sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I've been aware of that site for quite a while. The guy who runs it, Ange Coniglio, does a great job. He's always adding stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 http://www.remembertheafl.com/AFL.htm Good stuff Savage...wide open football at its best! My favorite team to watch back in those days (even though I liked the Titans/Jets) were the Chargers. John Hadl at QB throwing to Lance Alworth and Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe in the backfield...talk about fire power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Titan/Jet Page they have these players as AFL HOF'ers..What happen to John Elliot?? He was a Beast!

Preston Howley III Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I remember the AFL. I also remember the NFL's answer to it- The Vikings and Cowboys. The NFL expanded for the first time, to keep Dallas out of the AFL. Then, after the merger, the Colts and Steelers moved into the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbn007 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Excellent site. Brings back some memories. I started watching Football in 1967 or so. So I do not have teh memories you old-timers do. But I remember watching or reading about most of those players. And Blanda played forever!! It was a great league. I liked the Chargers, but the Raiders with Darryl Lamoanica could light them up also. Fred "stick-um" Bilitn. andcompany were also fun to watch.

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hey, I'm with you guys too! I loved the old AFL. The NFL in those days was a stodgy, 3 yards and a cloud of dust league. The AFL was a wide open, innovative league. For whatever other faults they had, Sid Gillman and Hank Stram were two of the greatest innovators the game has seen. Not only were the Chargers offensively gifted, but they had the best uniforms ever seen in the NFL (their retro unis now). Beautiful stuff. I go back to Dick Wood. Anyone remember him?
