YA Tittle is followed by Mr. Get on all Fours like a dog who was carried off the field crying yesterday.
when men were men ...
Never saw him play but heard stories from my elders (who were all avid Giants’ fans). Those really were the days.
Rest in Peace, Y.A. You were loved.
In earlier years, one exciting game was burned into memory
Due to the fact the sports announcer repeatedly stated:
It’s Tittle at the throttle! There, HE THROWS. Tittle at the Throttle repeated again and again.
A player before PC turned the other players into fairies.
I had no idea he was still alive.
I remember his league championship game against the Packers. It was a repeat from the year before, same two teams in the pre-superbowl era, fighting it out. My Daddy was for Green Bay and I was for the Giants. Green Bay won and Tittle’s offense was contained throughout. Jerry Kraemer had three field goals which was the winning margin for the Pack.
Y.A. was also a game show panelist on the Match Game with another celebrity...a young Betty White.
Mr. Get on all Fours like a dog is out for the year.
It’s obvious he is kneeling for the anthem/s
No truth to the rumor that he died of embarrassment......
I believe around the players his nickname was “Yat{?
Back when football was football. I actually watched him on B&W TV. Ya....
Watched him play many, many times when I was a kid in the ‘50s at Kezar when he was QB for the ‘49s....
I remember watching games with my father. How many times deep in the game the announcer would yell “Tittle is back...he looks...he throws! He was a living legend even then.
Those were the days. I loved the NFL in the 60s.
Y. A. Tittle looked older than he was due to being bald and he probably played a season or two past his prime. One of the greats.
Even the wild ones like Max McGhee, Joe Namath, and Paul Hornung were not disrespectful.
The best QB I ever saw was Bart Starr but that was partly because he played in the days where the QB literally ran the team on the field including calling the plays.
RIP Y.A. Tittle, an NFL legend! An honorable man from an honorable time.
Hated the Giants, but loved watching him play. Surprised he was still alive, but a helluva tough guy.
No h.
I hit the “G” accidentally then noticed it and thought “that looks right” so I left it in.
Thanks for the correction.
