How Old Are You?

[Jangles]

I’m not surprised at the poll results

some of the insults I see thrown around during disagreements make me cringe

I’m sure calling someone a chicken little was devastating back in the 60’s, but now I’m just embarrassed for the people that say it.

I am probably the old man on this forum. I was 28 years old when I attended the
Boston Patriot's first game on 9/9/1960.

87 ?!

Good lord, man. The fact that you're still cognitively/physically sharp enough to navigate this forum and make thoughtful, well-constructed posts here regularly is darn impressive.

Congratulations, clearly you've taken really good care of yourself (or have some amazing genes).

This thread is racist.

When I was a kid, I watched Dukes of Hazzard.

Before it went into syndication....

Bet you thought Tony Dorsett was a scrub too.

There are several members on this forum that would disagree with your second sentence.

My bar mitzvah was May 24, 1986.

68 Actually followed the Patriots since their inception. Remember the Harvard fiasco distinctly. People forget the Patriots were the laughingstock of the NFL for many year. Now that it's changed they aren't happy.

Hopefully they never fall that low again.

You’re probably right... everybody knows the best and most devastating insults come from little kids.

Many of us old farts grew up watching the 1pm TV game which was usually the NY Giants because the Pats never sold out and were blacked out.
At 4pm we went out and played football usually smear the queer until dark.
Had dinner and then watched George Blanda do something amazing in the 4th quarter until Heidi came on.

Shouldn’t you be out on your porch making sure no kids come into your lawn

My first beer at a bar was 9/8/1981.

Never was a Giants fan. I had a strange sports upbringing due to a variety of things I lived with some relatives in Somerville during the fall winter.

Spring Summer lived with others in Chester, PA so I became a New England/Philadelphia fan. Still remember the Phillies in 64 when Mauch basically only had 3 pitchers to toss and lost the pennant. It seemed at that time all my franchises were cursed.

Who would let an 8 year old drink in a bar?? Dude, you had some bad parents.

The responses cannot be seen by the public.

I sat in the metal bleachers at Schaefer Stadium.
