Wow I love this! Bob Stein at 3:00 became the President of the Minnesota Timberwolves, was a lawyer and in 2009 heconceived and began the first class action lawsuit on behalf of retired NFL players against the NFL. His case, Dryer v. NFL, fought for fair payment for the NFL's use of player identities, including in NFL Films. He represents many past NFL players in concussion-related cases.

Yary was undoubtedly the best offensive lineman in college football that year. He also played extremely well for the Minnesota Vikings. I remember watching him stop a pick six against the Rams during a Monday Night game. It turned out the Vikings made a goal line stand after that play that kept the Rams from scoring what should have been an easy touchdown. Yary was a true beast on the field.

You'd run funny too in those pencil legged slacks. There was an illustrated cartoon in Playboy back then about how the "Ivy League" styled suit wasn't practical, especially for athletically built men. I had a couple of pairs of those pants in '67-'68 made of hard wearing materials, rust colored corduroy and the other one in off white denim and I couldn't run very good in them. Can't imagine trying to run in them made out of 120's wool or cotton... RRRIIIPPP!!! They're probably trying not to split the seam out of the rear running down that incline.

Go to Bing Crosby introducing the 1963 Look All-America team, and see that two of Bob’s jokes here were recycled from that show. The lines about “enemy huddle” and “shaving commercials” were, well, shared among friends Bing and Bob.

Nice to see ted Hendricks

4:02 Tragically, Frank Loria had only two more Christmases after this one. After finishing his playing career in Blacksburg, he became an assistant coach at Marshall. He was on the ill-fated Southern Airways Flight 932 which crashed in West Virginia that fateful evening in November 1970, killing Loria and 74 others. Frank left behind his wife, Phyllis, and two very young children.
