Raiders legend George Blanda dies at 83
San Francisco Chronicle, by Dwight Chapin & Vittorio Tafur

Former Raider quarterback George Blanda, whose passing and kicking exploits during a 26-year NFL career led him to a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has died. He was 83. Blanda was known as the Ageless Wonder because he didn't retire until he was just short of his 49th birthday. And some of his best work came in his last decade in the NFL, with Oakland.

BREAK

As a quarterback and placekicker, he paced the Oilers to the first two AFL titles in 1960 and 1961.
