Houston Oilers


tx 3 putt

Recommended Posts

When I was a youngster during the early ‘80s, Bum Phillips showed up for some O&G golf tournament at my SETX home course. As a teen, my job was a cart/range guy, but when I saw him in his straw hat I had to get a picture. I looked down and he had boots on, so I asked “Coach where are your golf shoes?” He looked down, while laughing and said “these are my golf boots!” as he lifted a foot showing metal spikes.
It was amazing to a teen!

Love ya Blue and Hook’em!!!

Amazingly enough, it was spelled Jeffires. The first time I saw him play in preseason I thought they had fucked up and just misspelled his name on his jersey…

The Oilers had to be the only team in the NFL with two offensive skill position players that had fans misspelling their names, both first and last, as often as they were: Haywood Jeffires (a lot of people spelled it Heywood Jeffries) and Ernest Givins (Earnest Givens). Drove me crazy with that shit sometimes.
