Frank Gifford. Frank. Giff. The Giffmeister. A man’s man. A warrior and a poet. Yin and Yang. Gone at 84. Adieu...
I remember his cameo in the flick “Paper Lion”, along with other contemporaries like Alex Karras, Joe Schmidt and Vince Lombardi. Giff seemed right at home in the Swinging ‘60s.
Fast forward a few decades and he got reeled in by Kathie Lee Epstein and sired 2 children with her. Ah, the joys of fatherhood when you’re 117 years old.
My fondest memories of The Giffmeister were when the sordid details of his affair with an airline stewardess were released. Whoa, Nellie!!! (yes, I know that’s Keith Jackson’s line)
RIP, Giff. You and your loins earned it.
Frank Gifford RIP
