Yes, thanks Dez for the list. It brings back much nostalgia, more than what used to be a cold sadness.
I remember the heartbraking winters of 1967 through 1970. Mighty clashes against Green Bay*, Chicago**, Minnesota.*
Really look forward to seeing the Packers again on Sunday! :evil:
Perspectives change for players, coaches and for us fans as well. We grow older, see clearer and understand a bit better. It's been
our turn to win, however. We've done our time in the NFL, we've had great, tremendous players that became heroes fallen in final battles. Merlin Olsen, Tom Mack, Roman Gabriel, Jack Snow, Jackie Slater, Jack Youngblood, many more.
So close time after time... Victory was theirs! So close, so fleeting!
"...But things change, don't they?" [Ian Anderson / Jethro Tull, liner note from
This Was, ca. 1968]
