Lucky Kid!

I was a lucky kid. And adult. I grew up with the emergence of Johnny Unitas-Artie Donovan’s BALTIMORE Colts. Then headed West just in time to be around for John Madden’s Oakland Raiders at their peak & for the full run of Bill Walsh-Joe Montana’s SF 49ers. Then I moved to New England just as Bill Belichick was taking the Patriots to another level. My “streak” started with the ’57 Colts … and continues 48 years later. I’ve gotten a thousand thousand things wrong in my life, but if you’re trying to predict future NFL franchise excellence, just watch where I move! As I said, I’m a lucky kid! (Addendum: As an old B’more boy, with my heart at least in part in Philly, I do hope that the 4th time is the charm for the Eagles this Sunday!)
