Hank Stram has passed away.

[4th and Long]

I was listening to some interviews today and I found this tidbit interesting.

After Lombardi made some crass statement about the AFL being inferior, bla bla bla, Stram made every effort to show the world that his team was a class act.

During the singing of the National Anthem, players were lined up numerically, 1-99, on the sideline. Each player held their helmet under their arm. You don't see anything like that anymore.
