RE: George Blanda

From an Internet source: "[Blanda] was a collegiate and professional football quarterback and placekicker. ... [he] has the distinction of having played 26 seasons of Professional Football, the most in the sport's history, and had scored more points than anyone in history at the time of his retirement. Blanda retired from pro football in 1976. He was one of only three players to play in four different decades, and he holds the record for most extra points kicked."

I recall some ads he used to do.. How's it going, George? Well I can't kick he'd reply.

You’re right. He did play in 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s. What a long and storied career! I never liked the Raiders, though...
