Knute was a Norskie. “Screw all this running, I’m throwing the ball” was brilliant (for a squarehead).
Wife’s a scandy, just kidding.
I still love football, but frozen in time. Someone here said earlier, college ball has become the NFL’s JV.
There was a time when the guys who played loved the game and had `real’ jobs in the off-season. Pro ball’s a mess. Just my 2 cents.
