The Oldest Player In NFL History

[craigramsay]

George was my hero as a little kid. I was a kicker and even wore #16 in peewee through junior high football. I was in high school when he pulled off his 5-week-in-a-row miracle.

“As always, this has been a Non Stop Sports BANGER. Thanks for tuning in.” 🔥

George Blanda was also the coolest old guy ever. Met him a couple of times.

I remember watching Blanda's heroics back in 1970. It seemed like every week George was leading the Raiders to victory after they had been trailing. I was also lucky enough to see live Gordie Howe in his last season when he came and played against Boston when he was 52.

I remember watching him play and he played GREAT regardless of his age he has always one of the best players I have ever seen. I think Brett Farve took the record of most intersections from him, but Brett Farve was a Super star and was not afraid to throw into triple coverage, if he was intercepted he relied on his Defense to put the ball in his hand. When George Blanda retired he was still fit and he was the best player I have ever seen.

I remember watching Blanda on the Raiders, the games would show in Texas
would be the late afternoon games, and he was inspirational. A QB and the kicker !

Got to see Blanda play with the Houston Oilers. During the game, he threw a completion…underhanded…while being tackled. The crowd just blew up at the end of the play.

Was the kicker and QB at the same time...won games by himself. Smoked a cigarette and when the offense took the field he would throw a TD and kick the extra points. His 2 min 4th quarter drive to win the game by a Field goal was determined by him cause he knew how long he could kick the FG.

$600? Okay he got that stimulus check back then...lol

[joevasquez]

You should do “How good was Patrick Willis Actually?”

[operationtrickshot]

Non-stop sports you have taught me sooo much about sports and I always enjoy watching your videos

[BMB.CM]

Though he is a free agent Adam Vinatieri is no 48 as well

[robertmccully]

Nobody plays that long unless they get along with people. Must have been well liked also.

As a young boy and being able to watch the Broncos-Raiders games, even being a die hard Bronco fan, I loved watching him come into a game with all the chips down and lead the Raiders to a win. I often wondered what he told the kids in the huddle (some being young enough to be a grandkid)! Was it, “anyone lets anyone from the other team touch me, you will get a good old spanking”?
I love George Blanda!

So he's basically the NFL'S Gordie Howe

[strangers]

George Blanda bet on himself, legend.

[darthconquerus]

If Brady had been born a couple of years earlier he’d have done the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s all as a QB

[titansify]

Best narrator ever lmao apply to some TV stuff man you sound like those Gillette commercials🤣

[ronnieguitar]

I just read an article about Tom Brady making a comeback in a few years and they mentioned George Blanda but said he did not start a single game in his last 7 years but made no mention that he was also a kicker, which of course he was mainly used as in those 7 years. One of the last of the straight on kickers I suppose and a great one. Now they rarely have straight on kicking even at the high school level.

Do best player on each team ever or best player for every position.
