That's Y.A. Tittle of the New York Giants. The photo was taken after a loss in 1964, Tittle's last season.

The story is that Tittle was a great hall of fame quarterback. However he went to three NFL Championship games and lost all three. So this picture has come to symbolize the agony of defeat.

What you can't see in this version is that his face and uniform is dirty with dirt and his own blood...the color version is just depressing as hell, whereas>>372759is hysterically funny

think of it as being like Gazza's tears, except slightly less epic and sadder

Agreed, mainly because I've been a Seau fan since he came in the league and I felt bad for him :'(

Brady's is hilarious though

It's Terry Bradshaw after he scored a touchdown in which he bashed his head into the goal post because he was so excited. After this happened the NFL made wearing helmets mandatory.

Didn't Seau win one in 94? Oh shit thats right Jerry Rice and Ricky Watters (yeah nigga Ricky Fuckin Watters) and Deion Sanders refused to let that happen.

Also Merton Hanks...long neck is long

>>373265It's Terry Bradshaw

Bradshaw entered the league in 1970, and the NFL adopted single-post "slingshot" goal posts in 1967. Your explanation is impossible.

I was hoping a few of you guys would appreciate the merton hanks. He was one of my favorite players and I don't really know why.

Although not the fastest in the defensive secondary, Hanks was a natural at comprehending football knowledge. He was a 5-time All-Pro selection and became well-known for his interceptions and returns, as well as for what became known as the "Funky Chicken" dance. The dance was also known as "The Duck," "The Waddle," "The Rag Doll," and "The Rubberneck." Television viewers during the 1990s were also astounded by the safety's abnormally long neck. Several 49ers teammates were rumored to have measured from his clavicle (collar bone) to mandible (jaw) and found it to be an amazing 11 1/4 inches.

that could be why... I just remember him being a really good safety and a key player in some of the great mid 90s niner teams.

I just remember him having a really long neck. Also, I remember Harvey Williams having the second longest neck.

Funny story is that the picture was rejected by the editors of the newspaper of the guy who took it. If it were allowed, it would have been a sure fire Pulitzer winner which the guy was gunning for.

Only on 4chan can a somewhat serious discussion of a famous NFL quarterback degenerate into Merton Hanks doing the chicken dance.

HOORAY SHORT ATTENTION SPANS!
