I'm so old I remember Bart Starr beating the Cowboys in Championship game two years in a row.

The first one was the Ice Bowl where G.B. won the game on a like delay Q.B. sneak.

It was like Bart counted one thousand one one thousand two and then leaped into the end zone.

I'm so old I remember ... the TV previews for an upcoming new show called "Happy Days" and when the day finally came for the very first episode.... I missed it because my bedtime was 8 pm.

I'm so old I remember going to the hardware store to see color tv's and watching "Sing Along with Mitch" with the bouncing ball on the words at the bottom of the screen. Ours at home was black and white. When our family finally got a color tv the first show we saw was "Hazel" with Shirley Booth.

I'm so old I saw the first exhibition game the Minnesota Vikings ever played (against the Dallas Cowboys). My friend's dad brought him and me to the game.
