[th]INTERESTING
FACTOID
| | In 1989, the 1969 Colts demanded a flag
football rematch against the 1969 Jets. The
Jets gained two consecutive first downs by
Herman letting Bubba Smith beat him off the
line, getting open as an eligible receiver, and
catching passes from Namath. They were
the first passes anyone remembered Herman
ever catching, and helped secure a second
victory for Weeb Ewbanks' Jets | | At age 15, Martin reportedly had a near-death
experience when the trigger of a loaded gun
pointed at his head was pulled seven times,
but never fired.
SEVEN! |
