Title: What it was, was Football
Post by: TxKeith on July 03, 2012, 08:39:36 PM

Today Andy Griffith died at his home in North Carolina.  In 1953 he told a story about football, told from the view of a person that was from the country and never saw the game played.  I remember hearing the story in my youth and here is a link to hear the story.  Hope you enjoy it.  Rest in peace Andy.

I've got a CD with many of his comedy routines and I bought it pretty much for this.  I used to play it in the the truck the first Friday morning of football season for many years.
