Who am I?

October 1, 2008 by Paul Gotham 6 Comments

My time spent on the gridiron in South Bend proved fruitful as I was drafted by both the Packers and the Bills in the same year. I opted for the wide-open style of the AFL, and I shuffled off to Buffalo where I spent the first four years of my professional career. After some rumors of indiscretions I was sent packing to the opposite coast. There I spent the final eight seasons of my career earning two first-team All Pro selections and five Pro Bowl appearances. The AP & UPI also took turns naming me their Player of the Year. During my tenure I led the league in passes completed, pass attempts, and passing yards for one year each. I led the league in passing tds twice. I still rank in the top ten all-time for yards per pass completion. I have a 4-5 record in the post-season including a loss to Lombardi’s gang in Super Bowl II.

Who am I? (For a helmet sticker – what is my nickname?)

    That one has to be the fastest answer. If the answer was at 9:11, that thing was posted at about 9:05. I didn’t know it anyway.
