Unitas - Latin for unity (but pronounced "una - tahs" by the DoD)- hence the name for the US - South American exercise and humanitarian/security assistance operation. I may be naive, but there is a distinct possibility that naming the stadium after Johnny U will happen..... I hope so and think the political climate is ripe for this - corporate greed in the headlines, basic values and unity to win the war on terrorism...

Unitas: United We Stand

[VaMarVet]

From the Steeler Tribute web page - The Ten Worst Personnel Moves:

This was a no-brainer. Unitas was a Western PA guy who wanted to play for his hometown team. Art Rooney's kids told their dad that Unitas was the best QB in camp that year (or so they claim). However, the people in charge did not agree. Unitas was cut and was playing semi-pro ball in Bloomfield when he got a call from the Baltimore Colts. The rest is history. The Colts went on the become one of the greatest teams ever, while the Steelers continued to lose for the next 20 years.
