FOOTBALL GREATS TIDBITS® PAYS TRIBUTE TO

by Kathy Wolfe With Super Bowl 50 just around the corner, Tidbits takes the opportunity to look at several former NFL stars and their postfootball life. • After graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy, where he won the Heisman Trophy, Roger Staubach served a tour of duty in Vietnam with the U.S. Navy. He didn’t play pro football until age 27, when he joined the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie quarterback, the only team he would ever play for. Staubach was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, and made five trips to the Super Bowl, (two times as Super Bowl Champs, and the MVP of Super Bowl VI.) • Toward the end of his NFL career, Staubach started a commercial real estate business, The Staubach Company, specializing in commercial property. In 2008, he sold the company to an investment management company for $613 million. Staubach serves as the executive chairman of the company. This 73-year-old has been married for 50 years to his grade school sweetheart, with whom he enjoys his 15 grandchildren and one-great-grandchild. • Can you identify the first player ever to pass for 5,000 yards in a single season? It was Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, who spent all of his 17 seasons with that team. Turn the page for more!

• In the sixth week of his rookie season, Marino became a starter, and went on to play in nine Pro-Bowls. Out of his 242 games, he started in 240 of them. The NFL’s list of the Top 100 Greatest Players has Marino in the #10 spot. For many years after his retirement in 2000, he served as an analyst on CBS’s NFL Today. He left the show in 2014 to return to the Dolphins as a special advisor. Over the years, Marino dabbled in the entertainment field, appearing as himself in television and movies, including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. After his son was diagnosed with autism, Marino and his wife established a charitable foundation that has distributed more than $22 million toward research and treatment for children with developmental disabilities. • Norwegian-born Jan Stenerud came to America as a college student on a skijumping scholarship. In 1964, while training for ski season at Montana State University, he was spotted by one of the school’s coaches who was walking past the football field where Stenerud was cooling down from his practice. The football coach offered Stenerud a tryout, and he was given a position on the team as kicker. The Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in 1966, where he played until 1979, one of the first pro football players to be used as a dedicated kicker. After 19 seasons (including a stint with the Packers and the Vikings), and four Pro Bowl appearances, Stenerud retired with 373 career field goals, and never having missed a game because of injury or illness. He has worked as a sports commentator on Scandinavian television and is also involved with a firm that designs stadiums and sports arenas. See next page for more!

• The MVP of the first two Super Bowls was Green Bay Packer Bart Starr. He began his career with the Packers in 1956 and remained a player until 1971. After his retirement, he was immediately hired by the team as their quarterback coach, and became their head coach in 1974, a position he held for nine years. His charitable organization is the Rawhide Boys Ranch in New London, Wisconsin, a facility he co-founded in 1965, that helps delinquent and emotionally-disturbed adolescent boys. At the initial fundraising, Starr donated a Corvette he had won for his Super Bowl performance to be raffled. The 82-old-year-old Starr has recently suffered two strokes and a heart attack, but after intensive physical therapy, his condition has dramatically improved. • Fran Tarkenton played his first NFL game in 1961 at age 21 as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, and went on to nine Pro Bowl selections. In 1977, Tarkenton became the first professional athlete to guest-host “Saturday Night Live.” When this Georgia native retired in 1978, he owned every major quarterback record. Tarkenton has had numerous post-football success stories, starting with founding Tarkenton Software, a computer program generator company. He served as a Monday Night Football commentator for four years and a cohost of ABC’s “That’s Incredible!” during the early 1980s. He has written several self-help motivational books as well as a novel entitled Murder at the Super Bowl, a mystery about a football coach who is killed just before his team is scheduled to play in the big game.

• Baltimore Colt legend Johnny Unitas spent 16 years with that team, going to the Pro Bowl 10 times, with three of those as MVP. He was the NFL MVP four times, as well as being voted the league’s best player at the NFL’s 50year celebration. Unitas set the record for the most consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass, 47 games, a record that stayed in place for 52 years. During his career, Unitas sustained many injuries, including an elbow injury that prevented him from using his right hand. After doing commentary for NFL games during the 1970s, this football hero purchased bowling alleys and a restaurant, as well as investing in an air-freight company and several real estate ventures. Unfortunately, most were fairly unsuccessful. It was his final business decision that put Unitas under, a circuit board manufacturer which failed, forcing Unitas into bankruptcy. A sudden heart attack took his life in 2002 when he was 69. • There have been no financial difficulties for former Denver Bronco John Elway. In addition to his job as the general manager and executive vice-president of football operations for the Broncos, he has owned two restaurants and nine car dealerships (five of which he sold for $82 million). His net worth is estimated in the $150 million range. Elway almost didn’t have a football career. He was selected by the New York Yankees in the 1981 MLB draft and played 42 games on their Class A team, achieving a .318 batting average. Owner George Steinbrenner’s plan was to make Elway his starting right fielder. Elway was picked up in the 1983 NFL draft and played 16 seasons for Denver. Empty Seat A young man was very excited because he just won a ticket to the Super Bowl. His excitement lessened as he realized his seat was in the back of the stadium. As he searched the rows ahead of him for a better seat, he found an empty one right next to the field. He approached the man sitting next to the empty seat and asked if it was taken. The man replied, "No." Amazed the young man asked, "How could someone pass up a seat like this?" The older gentleman responded, "That's my wife's seat. We've been to every Super Bowl together since the day we were married but she has passed away." "Oh, how sad," the man said. "I'm sorry to hear that, but couldn't you find a friend or relative to come with you?" "No," the man said, "They're all at the funeral."

Sometimes we find scams where we least expect them. Lumos, the company that makes brain games for the computer and phone apps, has been cited by the Federal Trade Commission for telling us lies. Lumos advertised that its games would help increase cognitive behavior and put off brain decline, including mild cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Lumos even claimed to help with traumatic brain injury, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and stroke. It also has children’s products and cited “improved performance” in school and athletics. The big problem: The company didn’t have any research to back up its claims about what the products would do. The FTC alleged unfair or deceptive acts and false advertising, and ordered Lumos to stop making claims unless it has clinical testing of the products to prove what they do.

The rules of football and the plot of The Godfather are the two most  complicated things that every guy understands no matter how dumb he is. —Julian McCullough

Johnny Rogers’ Buddy and Beyond The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll “The Day the Music Died” But it still lives on today. Rock ‘n’ roll was still in its infancy when it suffered its first tragedy. On Feb. 3, 1959, three of the biggest stars of the day — Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, known as the Big Bopper — were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup and Carl Bunch left Clear Lake in a bus that had no heat that night and thought that the others were the lucky ones.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* You probably are well aware of the fact that caffeine enhances memory and learning in humans -- if you’re not a coffee addict yourself, you almost certainly know someone who is. But you probably didn’t know that the substance has the same effect on bees. More than half of all flowering plants produce caffeinated nectar, and tests recently conducted by researchers at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom demonstrate that bees strongly prefer nectar with caffeine to the decaf version. * Some ancient Greeks believed that baldness could be cured by applying to the hairless area a mixture of horseradish and pigeon droppings. * Parents of younger children probably will not be surprised by the following factoid: Six eight-stud Lego bricks can be put together in a whopping 915,103,765 different ways -- and at least one of those bricks will end up being stepped on by a barefoot adult. * If you’re planning a trip to Nevada, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it is technically illegal to kiss if you have a mustache.

MORE GRIDIRON GREATS

• Merlin Olsen was picked up by the L.A. Rams in 1962 and spent the next 15 years as a defensive tackle. His first contract was about $50,000 for two years, along with a signing bonus. In those years, the average football player’s annual salary was around $12,000. Olsen and three of his teammates on the defensive line, Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier, and Lamar Lundy, became known as “The Fearsome Foursome.” Olsen was selected for the Pro Bowl a record 14 straight years, including his rookie year. During the off-season, Olsen spent his time earning a Master’s Degree in Economics. Post-football, he enjoyed a successful acting career, first on “Little House on the Prairie,” then in his own series, “Father Murphy.” In 2009, Olsen was diagnosed with mesothelioma, possibly due to exposure to asbestos. He passed away the following year. • Olsen’s teammate Rosey Grier made post-career notoriety as a bodyguard for Senator Robert Kennedy during his 1968 presidential campaign. In fact, after assassin Sirhan Sirhan shot Kennedy, it was Grier who took control of the gun and overpowered the killer. Grier had played from 1955 to 1962 for the New York Giants, then for the L.A. Rams through 1966. In 1967, his career came to an end due to a torn Achilles tendon. He went on to host a weekly TV talk show, and made 70 guest appearances on other series during the 1960s and 1970s. Grier had a recording “People Make the World” on the music charts in 1968. This “Gentle Giant” became well known for his hobbies of macramé and needlepoint, authoring the book Needlepoint for Men in 1973. He became an ordained Christian minister in 1983, traveling as an inspirational speaker, and also founded a nonprofit organization that serves inner city youth.

• Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka personally hand-picked 6’2”, 335 lbs. William Perry in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft. Perry was fresh out of South Carolina’s Clemson University, where he had earned the nickname The Refrigerator. The name came about when he and a fellow player tried to fit in the same elevator heading to the college laundry facilities. His teammate said, “Man, you’re about as big as a refrigerator,” and the name stuck. (Perry already weighed 200 lbs. at age 11!). In addition to his NFL career (1985-1994), this defensive tackle and member of “The Monsters of the Midway” defense recorded two rap records, appeared on the 1980s series “The A-Team”), and had his own G.I. Joe action figure called “The Fridge.” In 2008, Perry was diagnosed with a serious nerve disorder that sent his life into a tailspin, both physically and financially. In 2011, a 10-year-old boy discovered Perry’s Super Bowl ring for sale in a sports memorabilia shop in a Mickey Mantle’s restaurant. Using $8,500 of his college fund, the boy and his mother purchased the ring and returned it to Perry. Yet in 2015, the ring was on the auction block again. When Perry didn’t pay the taxes on his home, it was seized by the county. At 53, this football great is barely able to walk and lives in an assisted living community.
