    A Southerner not knowing about Football?
    That would never pass nowadays with the SEC.

    But that was a good bit, still can’t believe it was told in the 50′s, good stuff Mr. Griffith.

    emrrbv. You are so right. It is a masterpiece. I find myself coming back to this bit all the time. It’s Andy Griffith’s voice and style that of course help deliver this great bit. He’s so talented.
