OT: Cliff Branch

[84rider]

RIP, thanks for all the memories, any kid growing up in the mid to late 70’s remembers and tried emulate your game. Great times at the height of sandlot football, in the words of Archie Bunker “ those were the days “

As a Raider fan in my yute. Cliff was the OG take the top off the defense guy. Stabler to Branch. TD.

...semifinalist for the NFL HOF 2 times. Hope he gets in one of these years...played with Lamonica, Stabler, Plunkett...

Semi-Finalist...He'll have to get in line behind 19 seniors who all have at least one finalist nomination! Hall is voting in 10 seniors this year...none more deserving than Joe Jacoby!!

Stop the music!! I agree that Jacoby belongs. He should have been a first rounder. Another OT that belongs is Bob Skoronski of the Packers. 5 world championships, Lombardi's captain, and moved to center for many games when there was an injury.

how many Ski's are in the shrine?

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

That's a good one. I certainly would make Bronco Nagurski my first pick.

I think Cliff was the hero in the "Heidi" Game.

Sebastian Janikowski should be a first ballet HOFer imo

Ha, Sorry but any Ski's wishing to get into the Hall will have to get in line behind Gronk!

 

[BackinBlack86]

The answer is 2 Bronco Nagurski and Frank Gatski

 

[FCABucks]

No love for Ray Nitschke...lol

 

[BackinBlack86]

Not a Ski and not Polish.. German

 

[Uncle Bumfuzzled]

Yes, there are a few Polish fellows in the HOF...including Mike Ditka and Alex Wojciechowicz that are not ski's…..
