The subtitle made me chuckle!

I bet that card made even Tom chuckle and the subtitle certainly would have, well, assuming of course Tom ever did actually chuckle.

I like the Johnny Carson as well. One of the many 1950's football cards with a white football.

Does anyone on the board have a game-used white football? I am sure they exist, and always thought I should find more when looking for autographs of players from the 50's etc.... The problem is : when I search "white football", even "vintage white football", let's just say something else comes up (not Danny White)..... Did a particular manufacturer make them to help in the search title? Thank you in advance. Sorry for the thread derailment.

Who could forget Jack Carson's sidekick, the hard drinking Ed...err...Jim McMahon!

Ty,
The NFL used the "Duke" football made by Wilson from the 1940's through 1970. I'm not certain that the white footballs are "Duke"'s but you may want to try "white wilson duke football" or "white wilson football" for your search. I've had the best luck on an ebay search with just "white wilson football". Good luck.

Thanks Scott, that focused the search considerably.

I'm horrible at telling jokes, certainly not in the same league with Walt Garrison, but according to Cowboys lore, someone asked Walt if he'd ever seen Tom Landry smile. I've heard Walt gave two answers to that question:

"No, but I only been here nine years", and

"Well, he has two kids, so he must've smiled at least twice" (or somesuch, I'm sure I mangled it)
