This is gonna be a fun ride.
Go ahead and post up.
Now I have two Dick Posts.
Guess this is my Stanley buying two toasters moment.
But it does feel good to have a spare Dick Post in case of emergency.
Just not as good as a
I actually need to come clean here.
What I mean by that is… to tell the truth.
I don’t actually have a Dick Felt.
I’ve never had a Dick Felt.
Sad, but true.
This is just a picture of one I grabbed online.
Right now the going rate is about $60 to get your own Dick Felt.
That’s a lot of money.
Must be why people in politics complain about inflation prices.
Surnames originated long ago from occupations people held from wherever they were from.
That’s why “Miller’s”, or “Smiths” are so common.
Every town needed one of those.
It had nothing to do with their defense.
Anyway I’m not here to job shame.
I don’t know about you but that’s enough Dick talk for one blog.
Let’s pivot to something else.
They don’t put coaches on cards anymore.
That’s a shame.
But at least we have this Rod Rust.
He was clearly too old to shake the Rust off at that stage of his career.
Maybe things would have gone better back in the 70s when he was still Rod Iron.
That’s fortune cookie material right there.
I mean just look at Tim Foley.
Is he catching the ball underhand?
Getting ready to drop the ball for a punt??
It just doesn’t make sense.
Nothing about this card makes sense.
That’s all the 1973 Topps I can handle.
That was a bad idea.
This looks nothing like a football card photo should look.
Photograph a cop shows witnesses in search of a pedophile?
But definitely not faces that would play a part in growing a billion dollar industry.
Let’s move on.
Fast forward to the late 70s/early 80s.
Have we figured out how to look badass yet NFL?
I have a real question: Is Tom Banks using an oven mitt to hold his oxygen mask?
Luckily Walter Payton is here to save us.
Lost his feet by the card cutter but he’ll shake it off.
Let’s scope into the 90s now.
If Harry Colon’s mom or dad aren’t gastroenterologists then I have no explanation for this.
As for the Kozerski - this is about as 90s as it gets.
I’m not sure what’s going on here either.
Was this a field goal attempt?
And what are those two doing up there?
Why isn’t Bruce at least using his hands to block either defender?
Where is his left hand exactly?
Is that you Dick Shiner?
