A fun fact

that is truly a Fun Fact ! Need to find the details about that penalty.
 
Cant See Cheech Marin GIF
Thanks internet sleuths! I wouldn't have found it without you!
 
That must have been an absolutely legendary stiff arm!

Any internet sleuths think they can find that video?
I saw him recall it in a video, so it exists. At first, if I remember correctly, he said Shula was happy about the fact that LC flattened the defender. After the penalty, however, he turned on him and lost it. Pretty funny story.

That looks like a shot to the guy’s shoulder pads to me. Hard to believe that was penalized back then. Maybe today. Maybe if the defense was an SEC team.
 
I remember that play and after watching it again, I still think it is a bad call but love it for the historical notoriety.
Have to agree with the ref's call. Looks like Csonka punched him.

Forearm shiver, but not a punch. Reading the story, the DB was knocked out. A penalty? How was Czonka suppose to know the guy was that soft? LOL
