"I keek a touchdown!"
During one of his early games with the Lions, they were losing but scored a
touchdown in the last 10 seconds of the game. Yepremian was sent in to kick the extra point, and he was so excited after converting the point that he went running off the field with his arms raised in celebration. Teammate
Alex Karras asked Yepremian, "What the hell are you celebrating?" Yepremian replied with a phrase made famous on
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: "I keek a touchdown".
