	Hometown QB Len Dawson dies at 87.
</p>

<p>
	According to the local news, he still holds some Stark County HS records.
</p>

<p>
	I thoroughly enjoyed his weekly show Inside The NFL with Nick Buoniconti on HBO.
</p>

	R.I.P.

	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...

	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.

	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.

	RIP Len Dawson
</p>

<p>
	and as a nod to the gipper - who wouldve pointed out  that Lenny Dawson was once a Cleveland Browns QB 
</p>

<p>
	albeit a backup to Frank Ryan who himself had quite a great career here.
</p>

<p>
	And to think, if he had chosen to stay on instead of going to the then AFL Texans, (like Sipe waiting out Phipps run)
</p>

<p>
	having the Len Dawson (superbowl winning QB) instead of trading for  Bill Nelsen - well who knows? 
</p>

	I remember as a kid and young teenager <strong>his</strong> high school exploits and playing against <strong>Niles McKinley high school , who were also state champions 1961 and 1963,  </strong>around/after the Lenny Dawson era with the Alliance Avaitors later an All American Conference member. 
</p>

<p>
	Great Conference and Ohio football back then, <strong>we were #2 in 1966 (#5 in the USA ! )..should have been #1 </strong>see my high school football posts.  
</p>

<p>
	Some great USA caliber football back then.  and a great quarterback at <strong>Purdue </strong>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.
</p>

<p>
	★ And <strong>yes </strong>Lenny or Len Dawson was a first class player and person may he RIP..   A class act all the way. ★
