They could have put a few of these down, too.
(And, speaking of Duluth Minnesota, and of players smoking in the huddle, and such, I want to add this song link for some thread music: "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" by some guy from Duluth Minnesota.)

More proof that backs up my claim.
Gatorade is now a multibillion dollar World Wide product, because it does enhance ones ability to compete by helping your stamina last.
Anyone who denies it is just not being honest with themselves.
Len Dawson hated that picture. He smoked for several weeks and quit.
But Minnesota was down 16-0 at halftime. I could understand if KC scored their points in the second half, you might have something there, but I can’t see Gatorade making all that much difference in the first half.
Spend 17yrs there one day
In the Summer it is, but not in the Winter. In the Winter months the humidity is actually much lower. This is why they do not get as much snow as many think they would. .
As I said, I lived down there, and it hits me like a brick the moment I got off the plain. They were already worn down before the game started.
I was messed up the moment I arrived.
I know what happened to me.
Fresca...nasty stuff...no wonder he was such a tough guy
My argument is all about th early years. I won’t argue the ones after dark retired. Minnesota won a lot of playoff games on the road in the day. However the KS game was with Joe Kapp
As for playoffs, not counting SB, the Vikings were kept almost all the playoff games.
As for the Super Bowls, other than the KC one, the defense was long in the tooth, they deservedly lost to Miami, Pitt, and Oakland.
Yet against KS, they had the best defense at their hight.
Wow, thanks
What a pussy this writer is/was!
Good thing he wasn’t on that midnight train that pulled into Yamasee, SC in July 1951 with about a thousand of us headed for hell (otherwise known as Parris Island)...
i think i is a bottle of fresca not a beer. Bottles were more in use than casns back then.
But maybe that year the NFL wasn’t all that.
funny but as a kid on the swim team we ate powdered jello packets with the water we drank at swim meets. That would be about 62 years ago.
Yup, all that sugar will definitely make you swim through the water re like a torpedo. LOL
I bet you guys were all over the place while not in the pool.
For this to have been a planned “cheat” of some sort means that the New Orleans NFL team running the game provided Gatorade to one team and intentionally withheld it from the other. Your account does not say that is what happened. Instead, your account says the Chiefs provided their players with a water substitute that no one in the NFL objected to as illegal or improper.
You feel that the Chief’s readiness to try a new thirst quencher was improper and I say it was intelligent anticipation of the demands that they forecast for a game day.
Each team at that time was responsible for their own drinks and fluids they had what they wanted and was no uniform agreement yet they were separate league didn’t have those rules set up yet
There’s no argument about the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs had Gatorade in the Vikings only had water everybody admits that they just denied that’s the reason the Vikings lost
By the way you say you haven’t heard this argument in all the years they’ve been taught here and talk about sports well you know what I’ve been telling people this for 40 years I got proof that I’ve been telling people I can show you the people I didn’t see it I’m crazy for thinking it might be on the same kit for 40 years and I’ve yet to get somebody to listen to me but that’s fine I’m gonna stay on it because I know I’m right I got to see a team agree to play another team without Gatorade while the other one is Gatorade every time I brought that up they change the subject but they don’t wanna play with a Gatorade
OK find somebody that will take me up on my challenge find a team that will play another team and one team does not get anything but water when does Gatorade easy to prove them wrong try to find somebody willing to take the bet but you know what in 40 years I have yet to find anyone that wants to take me up on about to prove them wrong they just want to say I’m wrong what prove I’m crazy find someone to take me up on my bed
