Is that Dwight Clark? What does he have to do with the Giants?

And congrats on your ring. It's nice you finally got one since Jackie Robinson and Duke Snider did.

Yeah... Y.A. Tittle... that photo is my all-time favorite sports photo. It really tells a story.

Taken from Wikipedia...

Famous photo

A photo of a dazed Tittle in the endzone taken by Morris Berman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on September 20, 1964, is regarded among the most iconic images in the history of sports. Tittle, who was in the final season of his career, was photographed helmet-less, bloodied and kneeling immediately after having been knocked to the ground by John Baker of the Pittsburgh Steelers and throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown at the old Pitt Stadium. The quarterback suffered both a concussion and cracked sternum on the play. He would go on to play out the rest of the season, but the Giants would finish a disappointing 2-10-2.

Post-Gazette editors at first declined to run the photo, looking for "action shots" instead, but Berman entered the image into contests where it took on a life of its own, winning a National Headliner Award. The photo was ineligible for a Pulitzer Prize because it was not published, but it is regarded as having changed the way that photographers look at sports, having shown the power of capturing a moment of reaction. It now hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

After at first having failed to see the appeal of the image, Tittle eventually would grow to embrace it, putting it on the back cover of his 2009 autobiography. "That was the end of the road," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2008. "It was the end of my dream. It was over."

It's a shame how busted up Earl is. 5' 11", 240lbs and just a beast. He was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives last night (I think it was an old episode).

I know a guy who played agaionst earl in a bowl game in the 70s. He said he was the hardest rb he ever had to tackle, and it hurt like hell.

One of Earl's thighs was the size of my waist. Just stupid.
