I Remember the Titans (the New York Titans)
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007On Thanksgiving Day, I suspect that even the most football crazed fan (I think I have accurately captured Broncos fans with this description) is thinking more about turkey than this blog.
However, just on the odd chance that you are giving it a quick read, I thought Thanksgiving Day football would be a legitimate topic.
And on that score, I remember the Titans. No, not the fine Denzel Washington movie, and not the Tennessee Titans whom the Broncos defeated Monday night, but the original football Titans, the New York Titans of the American Football League.
Those lucky enough to have watched the AFL—and I am certainly among that group–will love it forever.
It was a wild and crazy offense minded league that gave us a tremendous rush of offensive football, changing the way many fans looked at the sport and the way those fans wanted to watch it in the future.
