Oh yeah! What a player. I remember the year he had to play QB for Oakland because Daryl Lamonica kept getting hurt. He must have been 60 by then, or it seemed like it. But he kept coming out, throwing passes, and winning games either passing or kicking. It was a blast to watch, even though I was a Colts fan. Of course, it was easy to complete passes if you were throwing to Fred Bilitnikoff. I probably wouldn't remember this all so fondly if the Colts hadn't managed to pull out the playoff game against them. Great entertainment. RIP, George.
