Icon goes down

Why is there a picture of Brady and not Jim Brown? Even if they limited this to QBs, the picture would have to be Bart Starr!

Most of what I knew about college basketball was Lew Alcindor and UCLA. One day I turned on a game between South Carolina (ACC back then) and Maryland with this brash new coach who was going to build the UCLA of the east. MD had little talent at that point and had to play a slow down game, it worked ... they won on a shot by Jim O'Brien. I was hooked.

Lefty had already recruited Tom McMillen and Len Elmore who would be eligible to play on the JV team the next year. I had become such a big fan of Lefty and Maryland.

True story about Lefty saving those people in DE.

Who won the most championships. I do however agree that Jim Brown is one of the key figures all time in the NFL.

Because he is widely considered the greatest ever and THE football icon.

I understand that there are far too many who never saw spartan football played and are limited to their recollections and desire to have witnessed, true or not, the best in their time.

Just saw a funny Rick Snyder "give me two minutes" video. Today was my niece's birthday .... he did a video in honor of that. Anyone that traveled Route 301 back in the day would remember the Wigwam which eventually turned into Wall's bakery. The bakery is still around but not in the old Wigwam building which is gone now. They were eating giant eclairs.

Lefty turned me into Terps basketball fan in 1969. Hell of a coach and my all time favorite coach. RIP

Coach Thompson was my guy, but everyone loved Lefty and his plaid pants.
