1966 Dolphins playbook on Pawn Stars

[uk_dolfan]

This randomly popped up on my youtube feed, thought it was cool to see what a Dolphins playbook looked like in the teams debut season:



Guy who sold it said his dad was a flanker that was drafted by the fins.


(feel free to mute the audio, but they got valued at $400)

Soooo, how do I buy it?

That sucks. Now somebody will know our offense, because I believe we still run the same scheme. Maybe this will force us to update the offense some and we can start running some of the 1980's offenses.

Actually no, it said he was drafted from SMU and went on to play for the Raiders, which must have made it John Roderick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roderick_(American_football)

Roderick played three seasons in the American Football League, playing two with the Miami Dolphins and one with the Oakland Raiders. Previously, he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 1966 NFL Draft and by the Miami Dolphins in the first round of the Redshirt phase of the 1966 AFL Draft.

I looked into it mainly to find out what the hell a flanker (which is still a rugby position) was.

So there you go, if anyone wants John Roderick's playbook from the fins debut season you might be able to buy it in Vegas for around $400....

You might not be far wrong.






You can even compare what hotels the team uses




Video mentioned that they got $2 for breakfast, $3 for lunch and $6 for dinner
