McDonough didn't know about the "duke'

wow

Why is that a wow?

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I have no idea what you're talking about, so perhaps I don't know about it either. I know about, "Duke", "The Duke", and "Sir Duke", but, alas, like McDonough, not the "duke".

Are you talking about John Wayne?

I had the same reaction - odd that somebody who has been around football their whole life didn't know that.

Why is that a wow?

Every kid I knew way back when knew about "The Duke" football used by Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr and Roman Gabriel.

I was surprised that Sean didn't know about it.

The Duke refereed to Wellington Mara.

I didn't know that "The Duke" football was named after Wellington Marra (aka The Duke of Wellington). Now I know.

Wow is right! I'm an old-timer who has been watching football since about 1960. I have no idea what anyone is talking about.

It seems that Gabriel was quite familiar with the duke(Duke) as he was also in the movie, The Undefeated with John Wayne.

More importantly, Gabriel (my favorite player as a kid) also played a headhunter in an episode of Gilligan's Island.

Great movie. It's funny--I used to love it back in the 90s, but probably hadn't seen it in 20 years. The last month or so, it's been on TV numerous time and I've actually gotten sucked into watching parts of it a few times.

First or second?
I never saw George play. Sad story.

I saw Ricky play several times with a subsequent band.

Now here come two words for you:
shut the f&@& up!!!

(You won't get the full effect of this on TV - or a lot of this movie, the cursing is some of the best parts of it.)
