From the early inception of American football until the late 1960’s, the receiver (commonly referred to then as a flanker) would put his hand on the ground in a stance similar to that of the offensive linemen. | Just Burt | Facebook

The Mean Machine The Longest Yard (original title) 1974 After the cast and crew of "The Longest Yard" departed from Georgia State Prison, the inmates played Georgia State Troopers using the equipment left behind by the film crew. The game quickly got out of hand, with inmates pummeling the out-of-shape troopers for their alleged arrogance. The game was called at the half, with the inmates ahead 66-0. End of prison football in Georgia. | Just Burt
