I remember Blanda. I went to almost every one of those early AFL games. He was the Oilers QB the first year of the league, and we won the league championship. Of course he also kicked the ball too and pretty good out to 40 yards or so. Of course he got too popular around here so Bottom line Bud axed him, and he wound up having several more good years with Da Raidas. He also went into the HOF with the Raiders, not Oilers!

Ya, I saw Blanda a time or two back in old days of Jeppesen Stadium and I believe he was still here when the Oilers switched over to Rice Stadium. He was both loved and cursed while in Houston and the fact is, he wasn't real productive by the time he left Houston and went to the Raiders. But then he went on to have that great run as the Raiders backup QB and kicker and earned the admiration of old farts everywhere....
