Old time football player story

05-13-2016, 11:35 AM

My dad is in a nursing home right now and his roommate is Bert Rechichar.

Bert held the record for the longest FG in the NFL for a number of years. He has dementia pretty bad so he doesn't talk much at all.

I thought this is pretty cool.

"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

That is cool! One of my senior managements spouses is an ex-NFL lineman. I'm hoping to get a chance to talk to him sometime.

I'm just here for the baseball.
