Funny/Happy/Goofy Football Cards (Football! A Bonus!)
I already used a great card from this Topps '71 Football set. That was Johhny Unitas back in Set#2. I find that this particular year has all the funniest football cards. Like Topps developed a sense of humor then quickly lost it. I gotta admit, I'm not a football guy but a baseball guy so I don't know these players (with the exception of Snow and Olsen who were pretty high profile). Ok, on with the show!
Tucker is like, "Hey, looks like they got some rookie runningback running my plays over there while I'm stuck here getting this stupid picture taken!" Or maybe, "I think that creep in the stands just pinched my wife's ass. What's the big idea?" Anyway, something seems to be distracting our gridiron great.
Hello Ken. KEN! KENNN! Don't hike that ball. There's no one behind you for miles. The game's over. Everyone's gone home. Chill, big guy.
Jack is clearly having a ball. He's even flashing us a smile as he gallops along to another touchdown. Son J.T. Snow was a baseball star (100 RBI club guy) but more importantly, a member of the Misakman's All-Weather Team (See Misakman's All-Time Funny "Themed" Baseball Teams section).
Bob's doing a fancy jig for us. Zip-a-dee-do-dah Zip-a-dee-day!!!...
Not to be outdone, Kermit is flashing one of his fancy dance moves.
Charlie is having a ball watching the proceedings.
Dan on the other hand doesn't seem amused. He's lamenting, "Aw Geez! The postgame spread will all be gone by the time this stinkin' photo-shoot is over. I betcha they won't even leave me any Spaghetti-O's. And they'll eat all the mini-hot dog pigs-in-a-blanket. Mommy only makes those on New Year's Eve. That's just poopy.
Hey Merlin. MERLIN! MERLINNN! Down Boy! Don't attack the photgrapher. He's our friend. The game's over.Merlin Olsen of course is more recognizable with the beard. That's how you've seen him on TV as actor (Little House On The Prairie and Father Murphy)/football commentator/pitchman - FTD Florists most notably.
