Who Am I?

[Avante]

In my pro football career I'd rush/receive/return punts/kickoffs/kick x-tra points and field goals to score. I'd even throw for 5 td's. And I wasn't the best back/receiver on the team.

Who am I?

103 yard kickoff return, 91 yard td reception, 86 yard run to score.

[Pego]

Frank Gifford?

[dukehjsteve]

I'm pretty sure it's not him, but I remember when Paul Hornung did double duty kicking FG's/ extra points (and also running ! ) for the Packers, scoring a ton of points, plus he was a QB at Notre Dame.

[Avante]

Frank Gifford?

Gifford never returned a punt or kickoff for a score in the NFL. Good guess however.

Ever read his book, great read?

I was just in Bakersfield yesterday

Hornung never scored on a return in his NFL career.

Let me add...

This isn't about one of those wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day players. Post....60's.

Where's the detectives out there? Giant Panda....you should be all over this. Ok how's bout...

Whoevrer does solve this mystery wins a grea big......attaboy Now's there's some motivation.

What the hell is....whoevrer...hahaha!!

[Avante]

Don't tell me I'm going to have to just give out the answer. How many football fans are out there?

[Giant Panda]

What kind of car did he drive? Was he big in Nebraska?

Damn that Avante he stumped me again

Come on man you're better at this than most. A cat who could do it all. Now just how many of those have there been? I just elimanated 98% of everyone. A guy who ran the ball, caught passes, had to kick a little, every once in awhile throwing a pass. They even had him returning kicks. Now how many guys have done all that?

[Giant Panda]

John Wilkes Booth?

[Avante]

John Wilkes Booth?

Good guess, as we know when Wilkey (what his teammates called him) was at Angola State he set all kinds of records in rushing/receiving/kicking/tackling/passings/INTS/kick returns. Who can forget that game vs Parchman Farm. Over 700 yards total offense...before half time!!! What a shame he had to go and shoot a president, a lot of teams shied away from drafting him after that so as we know he ended up (signed on as a free agent) with the weak Sacramento Grasshoppers of the now defunct Continental League. Great guess

[odelltrclan]

Isnt it George Blanda?

[Avante]

Isnt it George Blanda?

George Blanda returning a kickoff 103 yards?

Ok....

This guy played on a team with a great wide receiver and a great running back, he wasn't the star of the show, what he was was multi talented. He could do it all. Now how many teams have had a player like that?

I'll go a little further with there is a similiarity to Hornung and Gifford.

[Per Andersen]

Calvin Hill?

[Avante]

Calvin Hill?

First Cowboy to rush for a 1000 yards in a season. It took an Ivy Leaguer to do it I think he long jumped while at Yale.

Nope!

[Avante]

John Wilkes Booth?

That is kinda funny now that I think about it, as you will see.

[Giant Panda]

Henry Leland? Herbie Husker?

You have to consider Brutal's biases when answering his questions.

The answer is Keith Lincoln.

Did he drive a Cadillac?

The Moose of the Palouse, who once booted me off a campus handball court cuz he felt like playing. Since I wasn't packing an elephant gun, I acceded to his request. Asshole.

[cullman]

Maybe this will make you feel better, gh.

Bingo! Bango!

I have no bias, I simply go with real life.

It was an exciting brand of football. The NFL had all the great college defenders, so we saw a lot of offense. I've since changed, now I'm in favor of those 13-10 games.
