WML Project: Packers and Giants

[SWC75]

12/30/62 Ray Nitschke, wearing thick glasses that makes him look like Frankenstein with glasses on. He’s the first guest and this was the day the Packers beat the Giants 16-7 in Yankee Stadium for the NFL title. This was Lombardi’s greatest team that fished with a 14-1 record, out-scoring their opponents 431-155.


There was always something about Ray that suggested "Frankenstein" to me.

1/20/63 Andy Robustelli, the football Giants defensive end. The panel already knows that. They have to figure out what he does in the off-season and it’s a profession you’d never have suspected of a big, strong football player.


He's the first guest.

11/17/63 YA Tittle in the last episode filmed before the Kennedy assassination. He's also the first guest. It doesn't take long to guess "YAT".


Y. A. appeared on TTT on 10/9/61 as one of the imposters. After the reveal, he identified himself as an insurance salesman, which he was in the off season. Unfortunately, You-Tube doesn’t have that one.

1/22/67 Vince Lombardi, whose team had just won Super Bowl I. He is the first guest and the applause gives him away.
