The King of Clutch is gone

Talk about the AFC, NFC, the NFL Draft, College Football... anything football that has no Washington Football Team relevance.

The King of Clutch is gone

Post by Countertrey »

When George Blanda passed, football lost one of a kind.

I don't think there will ever be another like him.

Great post! Sadly, this generation of fan doesn't really understand the contributions Blanda provided the league and how impressive his career was. Yesterday was a sad day for the NFL.

Unfortunately it really took him passing away for a guy like me to even know of him. From all the information and footage I've seen, this guy was a total freak! How da heck did he play until he was 48 in "old school" football????? 10 current records too???
