[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 487389"] Don Chandler made an appearance at our youth football practice, I'd guess 1966, give or take. After a couple of questions from us kids, everybody was just standing there staring at each other, so I went ahead and goaded him into demonstrating a punt, against his protestations that he was in street clothes. Coach was not happy, but Chandler gave it shot. I was not impressed. As I recall, it was a high punt but not that far...I'd guess the equivalent of 30 yards from scrimmage in my dim recollection. It struck me that this punting thing might be more impressive on TV than it actually is, perhaps overlooking the fact he was wearing dress shoes and kicking a ball not quite up to NFL standards. I asked him if he could improve on that kick with a second try, but he demurred. My takeaway from my underwhelmed impression was that I might be able to play to this game. I was almost right :sleep:.
