A few fun football memories.... [View all]

While football is far from my favorite sport...as someone who did play some sports (volleyball, a little softball, some tennis, badminton) I could/can appreciate a great play in any sport.

● I used to enjoy Warner Wolf's play of the day/week including football.

● When growing up (60 yrs ago) if a particular one of my uncle's was here at our home on Army vs Navy day - I think we had 2 modest TV's; I could hear my dad yelling for Navy!; while my uncle in the other room w TV was yelling for Army!

● I tried to find this on line using all kinds of wording with no luck...
There was imho a hilarious front page illustration from the NY Times (Sunday?) Sports Section; had to be mid-00's (possibly 2005?).
•In the very bottom left corner was the kicker in kicking action.
•At the the very top right corner was the football (having -been- kicked) covering slightly a bit of the headline.
•The headline was something like
They Play A Game?"
• the full illustration had the gridiron, then a whole bunch of half-time performers; including Paul McCartney on a grand piano(!) which was in 2005.

I think the article was about how the Pre-game show had gotten longer, and longer.
Anyway, I thought it was a very clever, funny page layout, and illustration.
