FRANK GIFFORD

as i am a true curmudgeon and giant fan i can only recall gifford's performance in the 1958 title game while listening to the game in nyc in my in-laws apt.

living in balto. at that time my wife and i had to suffer the further indignity of having to drive home down the jersey turnpike among the colt's fans leaving yankee stadium and nyc.

He experienced the highs and lows as a player. Gifford fumbled twice early in the 1958 NFL championship game, both of which led to Baltimore Colts touchdowns, and later came up short on a critical third down. The Colts eventually won 23-17 in the league's first overtime game, which helped popularize the NFL and was dubbed "The Greatest Game Ever Played," although not by Gifford.


i guess its time for forgiveness. rip, frank.
