1973 Rams. Short Interviews of Jack Youngblood, Isiah Robertson and Steve Preece?

How freaking huge was that magazine?

Twice as thick, after the pages had got stuck together.

At the time 30 teams or maybe 28 with several pages dedicated to each team, plus articles about rookies, coaches and such. Plus reading the pages on the 49ers yelling out "You bastards." Adds to the reading time.

Twenty-six at that time.

That is why Prothro got a second chance with the Chargers, due to all the great personnel decisions he made with the Rams. Should have made him GM because just like in L..A., they fired him in San Diego for Don Coryell.

Prothro abruptly quit after a 1-3 start to the 1978 season, in no small part due to the frustration from the 'holy rollers' loss.

I still remember when my Aunt, who loves sports gave me my first Streets & Smith, those were the days. I first thing I received from my Dad was in 1973 a football book that was put together by our local gazette, but it had all the teams and their depth charts, plus who the Head Coach was. I memorized most of it at 7 years of age and can still recite much of it, including the QB's across the league that season.

Tommy Prothro smoked like a Chimney.

And an ad for the Roman Gabriel football game that took forever to get delivered.

In three hours? Oh to be young.

In three hours? Oh to be young.

Oh, how I miss the days of instant recovery.
