I still have a couple of Czonka's rookie cards.

God I hated the Dolphins.

Must have been because he played college ball at Syracuse.

No, it's off of Alaska. Close, though...

"Csonka, a former member of the Miami Dolphins football team and host of the television show "North to Alaska", has a son who is a Chief Warrant Officer serving in the Coast Guard."

Boy, am I feeling old!

You seen this, Tonk?

God I hated the Dolphins.

I made lots of money at the local tavern in the 70s on football sundays from people like you;)

He really knew how to run people over. :D

And how often do you see that these days in the NFL? I pine for the days when running backs and receivers turned up-field and ran over people rather than running for cover out of bounds.

Old? Attended my first Packer game in 1950. Quarterback was Tobin Rote; running backs Tony Canadeo & Billy Grimes; pro-bowlers were Grimes and defensive lineman, Ed Neal.

You probably have me there. My screen name should give it away.

I remember Rote playing with the Lions and I remember Hornung with the packers.

Ah, the good ole days, back when they made touchdowns and acted like they had been in the end zone before.
