May the Packers never get rid of those classic (and classy) uniforms.

THANKS to both Ed and Steve Sabol for the immense work they did to popularize pro football and to make the NFL the most extensively-filmed professional sports league.

Has anyone besides me noticed that today's players wear gloves (in all weather) and receivers of the past did not? And these gloves are designed specifically for catching the football?
