If you ever get a chance, look up the size/weight of some players from a few decades ago. It's pretty crazy to think about how much the game has changed.

Dan Audick a guard from the 1981 forty-niner super bowl team was 250 pounds.

I can't see the picture well, is he smoking a cigarette?

Yep. And drinking a Fresca

Awesome. Today's PC world would never have that.

LOL,

I was watching one of the old 49er games from 1981 on NFL network when the camera passed the guy on the field who holds the down sign. The guy was standing on the sideline with the sign in one hand and smoking a cigarette with the other, LOL.

Also, that is what Fred Dean did instead of lifting weights.

not just the game, but society.

Definitely true when it comes to smoking...

Dawson's team lost that Super Bowl, maybe he shoulda skipped the ciggie break...





Jim Leyland (just retired longtime baseball manager) was such a nic addict he would sneak back to the trainers room between innings or even during long ones for a refreshing blast of smoke.

 

[deep9er]

even the physical size of society has grown from the 60's

Such a shame. Its a down hill slide from which there is no recovering.

Well, you'll be dead soon so you won't have to be all butthurt about it anymore. And then the rest of us get a slightly better society.

Merry Christmas!

I'd be living on an island if I had to endure all that god damn cig smoke they did back in the day. I'll never forget sitting across from a chain smoker in a building full of chain smokers at a Waffle House. Mother fucking brutal.
