Why no Fran T. On a Football Life??!!
ive now seen Roger Staubach on 3 to 4 times in two weeks. hey, great guy great story. But why doeasnt Fran have one??? i think he has a great story as well. Guy to small to make it in the NFL, ends uo holding all the QB records for a while!! anyways it irritates me he doesnt have his own NFL a Football Life. just sayin’ Viking players get no respect from the old days. except maybe Allen Page. Fran changed the QB position!! And Roger the Dodger has nothing on Frans escapability!!!!
BTW., if Fran has an episode i appologiaze in advance, never seen or heard of it.
NFLN had "Top ten mobile quarterbacks" or something to that effect. Sir Francis was #1

Agree.....
Staubach was the "Apple Pie" "Naval Academy" "Served in Vietnam" "QB of "America's Team" "Wave the flag" "Feel good" "Super Bowl" story.
22,700 yards and 153 touchdowns.
Tarkenton (Why I'm A Vikings fan)
47003 yards 342 touchdowns.............3,674 RUSHING yards.....32 rushing TD's
At the time he retired he led all QB's in yards, TD's and rushing yards & TD's....during 14 game regular seasons.

thats what im talkking about!! thank you Van!!!
BTW, i went to an Offense Defense football camp in early 80’s. Drew P. was there. Q&A time after a practice i got to ask the question if he pushed off Nate Wright. and he said YES! but what are u going to do about it now? and chuckled to himself. it was an eye opening moment. So what im saying is the Vikings of 75 shoukd have won that game, and i think was the greatest most dominant Viking team of all time. Fucking ref. Uugh!!

Uugh!!Horrible day not just for Vikings fans, but personally for Tarkenton too, he found out from a member of the Press that his father had died.
Right then and there, I became a Vikes fan for life.
I was just a kid but broke my heart TWICE that day.
Me? I’m more of an ‘87 guy myself (Damn strike team lost every game,had to play on the road throughout the playoffs....AC in SF was a thing of beauty)
There's a cool hour long episode on Fran on SEC Storied. you can stream it through ESPN
