My earliest memory of Frank Gifford was in the 1958 NFL Championship when he scored on a 15-yard pass from Giant quarterback Charley Conerly.

Of course, that was the first National Football League playoff game to go into sudden death before a nation-wide audience. When the Colt's Alan Ameche scored on a third down 1-yard touchdown run to win the game, 23–17, the future of the NFL was set to explode.

I was delighted in the outcome as I was an 11-year old diehard Colts fan then as was my father who never stopped reminding any and all that the Colts were actually the old 1952 Dallas Texans.

Rest in peace, Frank. Say "Hi!" to my old Pappy... he'll be the one telling you your lost to the Dallas Texans in "The Greatest Game Ever Played"
