You boys must not have watched either the 1992 body bag game between the Redskins and Eagles or the 1985 game between the Raiders and the Bears.

I was a Stiller season ticket holder starting in 1966, {$21 dollars for seven games, end zone seats at Pitt Stadium} and witnessed 45 + years of real football, but times and rules have made it a totally different game.

The last 20 years have been mediocre football, but great pitch and catch from QB's to fast guys with great hands. When Turkey Jones from the Browns {the original Browns} picked Terry Bradshaw up flipped him over and pile-drived him head first into the turf, he almost broke his neck.

In today's game, he would be arrested and prosecuted by the local DA.

The game is so different, but as Number 3 showed us last week, it is still a violent game.
