Anyone here remember Roman Gabriel? [View all]

Back in the 60's when there were only like 3, maybe 4 channels on TV, we got the NFL West Coast late game here on the East Coast. CBS had the Rams on almost every Sunday. Gabriel was your proto-typical NFL quarterback. Strong in the pocket and had an arm that was dynamite. On defense, you had the Fearsome Foursome. Loved me the Rams back in the day.....

Until Jimmy G came along, Roman was the best looking football player in the game. Ferrets are Cool Aug 2023 #8
