											"Very few people are allowed the privilege of seeing pro football up close. I am one of those guys and I can tell you it's different on the field.
Ken Stabler was of of the great players I got to see first hand and to paint more than once. I hope this study shows the fatigue, weariness, and physical meanness of the game. It's no sport for the faint of heart, especially when, as a quarterback, you hang in there until the last fraction of a second, waiting for your guy to come free.
Stabler did that and more and lived to tell about it. What a great quarterback."
