Jeff Nixon vs. Archie Manning, 1980

In 1980, Jeff Nixon played safety for the Buffalo Bills. By the goodness of youtube, Nixon recently posted his highlights from when the Bills played the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome in week3 of a monumentally awful 1-15 season for the "Aint's". Archie Manning does manage to wing a nice touchdown pass to Ike Harris, which is what I'd say makes the video footage a gem. But then there I see Saints kicker Benny Ricardo, who I once got a chance to talk to along the sideline of a game that very season. My question was as simple as his answer. Why do you where two different kinds of shoes? Well, one is for kicking, and one is for walking. It's no wonder that Ricardo went on to become a stand-up comedian.
