In 1961, he completed 48.5% of his passes for 4.9 yards per attempt–the kind of thing that would get you replaced in 2012.

I’m reading this as a shot at Mr. Tebow.

Rich Eisen said on the DP Show a week ago or so that Manning would not wear No. 18 with his new team. He’s leaving that behind in Indy. So this whole discussion could be pointless.

If I’m reading this correctly, you’re saying Frank Tripuka is a choking choker, and a fraudulent fraud.

In modern terms, he would be like Jon Kitna, if Kitna had happened to be the first starter and had his number retired as a result.

also less Bible thumping, I’d imagine.

Sometimes, the greatest remembrance happens when the record falls, or when the number comes back to life.

Or in Mr. Tripucka’s case, when he remembers he stuffed the pet dog in the dishwasher.
