NFT: Jerry Izenberg....

As a kid, I always loved his articles in the Newark Star Ledger. His knowledge of boxing during its heyday and horse racing is, arguably, as good as it gets. He is also, along with, I believe Moss Klein, the only writers to have attended every Super Bowl.

This may have been posted before, and if so, i apologize, but he puts it in the paper every Memorial Day. While I know that Memorial Day is over, Father's Day is coming up and I thought I'd post it for all of us who love and loved are dads. If you haven't read it before, I hope you enjoy it.

If you lived through those two games, that book has much more meaning too.
I was around 11 so I am just old enough to remember
