GA Russell Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Look what I found! I have just spent the evening watching the 1962 Houston-Dallas AFL Championship Game. I watched that game 57+ years ago, and I can tell you that tonight I didn't miss instant replay at all.

felser Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 26 minutes ago, GA Russell said: That's great, John! Was he obviously better than everyone else at age 11? Absolutely. He could run faster, throw and kick farther, had a better feel for the game, compared to anyone else in the league. We won the city championship, rather he won it single-handedly for us. Yet, because of the times, he was the only African-American player in the league, and he didn't even start at QB for us, the coach's son did. But the coach would put in Holloway to start the second half (or earlier if needed) and he would just totally dominate the game. BTW, I had nothing to do with the success of that team, was a second-string defensive end. I also played on a city champion baseball team in Cincinnati a few years later, where I was a second-string outfielder and also contributed nothing to the championshiop. Had a good knack for being in the right place at the right time. Or maybe it was my intangibles, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
