Not sure what to say?

When I was 10 years old, one fall day in Maine, I turned our TV and there was this football game on and it was the New York Giants with Y.A. Tittle at qb, throwing the football all over the place. Well, I quickly became a Giants and Tittle fan. I still remember the 1963 Championship game when Larry Morris hit Y.A., so he wasn't able to plant his feet properly and so the Giants lost a Heartbreakers that broke my heart and does to this day. Y.A. has always been my hero. I have his...

As a Patriots fan today and a fan of Tom Brady, to this day, I consider Y. A. the G.O.A.T. I have so many great memories and memorabilia of this man, I'll...

Joe Flynn, native San Franciscan, long time YA fan, always angry at the 49ers for having traded YA, but happy for his successes in New York.Not a greater gentleman in the NFL,EVER!

My condolences to the family and friends of QB Y. A. Tittle, a huge loss in the world of not just football, but sports in general. He was a talented sports legend, and will be missed. May he rest in peace.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family for their loss of a talented man. I hope you find comfort and help in God during this time of sorrow.
