Football Fever

45 years ago today - Saturday, December 10, 1966. My very first football game.Dad took me to Baltimore for the Colts-Packers game! Packers were defending NFL champs and would win the first Super Bowl one month later. We saw 17 Hall-of-Famers that day (at last count). Shook the hand of Johnny U and got his autograph. Cold, rained, but it couldn't dampen my spirits. My love for the game lives today. Thank you, Dad. And thank you, Mr. Unitas.
