Yeah I was like 5 then, and my first exposure to football was a "coach" hitting us with a belt because in the middle of yelling at us for doing the wrong thing he forgot to explain to us what the right thing was (this was at a Catholic school, no less. Maybe predictably?) I hated football from that point until the Bears drafted a running back from Jackson State, and all of Chicagoland was talking about him.

Deep threat.......Dick Gordon was a bad azz(y). At one point Dick Gordon and Vince Evans had the highest yards per catch in the NFL. Then our idiot Bear ownership let Dick Gordon go to the CFL :mad:

The flash was so fast that you knew he was out there but never saw him. Don't get more obscure.

How about Kenny Margerum? Decent possession guy that left his feet too much and got a ding, lost the little speed he had.

Harold Edward "Red" Grange. Not so much because he is obscure in his time, but in current time he is obscure and probably the single biggest reason we have an NFL today. He saved football.

Absolutely. However let me "knit pick" here.......I say Papa Bear Halas is the biggest reason because it was his idea, build the foundation and organized the league.............. And in all fairness had some help from "Curly", not Howard, Lambeau..........."Red" Grange w/o a doubt made it popular and brought in the fans. I believe he was from Wheaton, if memory serves me right.
