Y.A. Tittle Dead at 90
It’s sad. Really liked the guy. Has a ton of autos out there, and had such a beautiful autograph. Rest In Peace...

Sad. At least he lived a long life. Another legend gone. RIP!
Side note: I bet eBay is about to be littered with his stuff now. Sigh. |

When I was a kid I had a signed copy of that photo of him bloody and beaten and on his knees exhausted. I like to think there was a message young me took from that. R.I.P.

What a damn shame he's gone, one of the last guys alive who played in the 1950's.

At the end, hope his mind was as strong as his will to win. The players today are hit by monsters but back then, it was more along the line of UFC on nearly every play. As a quarterback, you didn't want a fumble and be in the scrum.
