Fran Tarkenton got tossed near the end of the 1974 Patriots at Vikings game after he fired the ball off the back of Ron Bolton's helmet after Fran had scored a go ahead TD.

Jim Marshall, Mick Tingelhoff and Roy Winston. For the record, in Super Bowl IX, the Vikings captains were Ma...

For those not familiar with the story of his death it was said that Lipscomb hated needles and never would have injected himself. It was probably done when he was unconscious. There was a story done by NFL Films I believe but I can't remember when or all the details. Yes, this would make a great fi...
