Hometown QB Len Dawson dies at 87.
According to the local news, he still holds some Stark County HS records.
I thoroughly enjoyed his weekly show Inside The NFL with Nick Buoniconti on HBO.
R.I.P.

I remember as a kid and young teenager his high school exploits and playing against Niles McKinley high school , who were also state champions 1961 and 1963, around/after the Lenny Dawson era with the Alliance Avaitors later an All American Conference member.
Great Conference and Ohio football back then, we were #2 in 1966 (#5 in the USA ! )..should have been #1 see my high school football posts.
Some great USA caliber football back then. and a great quarterback at Purdue also. That gets overshadowed by his great KC Cheif playing career, he was synonymous with the Chiefs as Coach Hank Stram would always point out.
★ And yes Lenny or Len Dawson was a first class player and person may he RIP.. A class act all the way. ★

RIP Len Dawson
and as a nod to the gipper - who wouldve pointed out that Lenny Dawson was once a Cleveland Browns QB
albeit a backup to Frank Ryan who himself had quite a great career here.
And to think, if he had chosen to stay on instead of going to the then AFL Texans, (like Sipe waiting out Phipps run)
having the Len Dawson (superbowl winning QB) instead of trading for Bill Nelsen - well who knows?

The Steelers would have been relevant NFL team early than when they moved into Three Rivers if they would have just kept Unitas and/or Dawson in the 50s/60s.

^^^^^ From M*A*S*H ?
Only instead of a cigarette and a Fresca that Lenny had it was a joint. Great movie. Remember Fresca ?

It was created in the ‘60’s by Coke.
You can get it at Target, Walmart, and Amazon.

What does it taste like?
I honestly do not know if I've ever seen someone drink it.

Fresca was one of the first artificially sweetened citrus pops. Leans a little bit toward grapefruit. It's actually not bad today but originally when it was saccharine or sodium cyclamate it tasted like holy hell as did everything with those artificial sweeteners.

WSS described it pretty accurately.
My suggestion if you ever want to taste it, dilute it with vodka or rum.

I remember Fresca and TAB being huge with the female demographic of consumers... TAB was like the first diet soft drink That I believe was also a Coke product.. it came out in 1963. I even remember the Fresca commercial with the hot European woman pushing the product. Fresca also means "Fresh" in Italian...
