60 training camps ago, two good men were gone too soon. Willie Galimore and Bo Farrington.
“Galimore was mesmerizing. He scored just 37 touchdowns during his career in Chicago, but his ability to find space was nothing short of artistic.”
“Bo was a tall, angular wide receiver who never achieved his full potential. He's best remembered for his 98-yard touchdown reception against the Detroit Lions at Briggs Stadium in 1961. When old timers talked to me about Bo in the 70's and 80's, they always talked about what might have been had he put a grip on a full-time starting position.”
“Two of the finest men I’ve ever played football with. It’s going to be awfully difficult to accept.” - Bill Wade, QB. Chicago Bears. July 27, 1964.
 
On December 10, 1983 Pittsburgh beat the Jets 34-7 in the beginning of Week 15 of that season.
This Saturday game unknowingly marked two things: it was then-veteran Terry Bradshaw's last professional game, and also the last time New York City hosted a professional football club.
And it is that the Giants had already abandoned the Big Apple years earlier, after serving as hosts for fifty years at the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium for 1979 would finally inaugurate their own stadium, the Giants Stadium, which however was not located precisely within the Urbe of Iron but in a suburb called East Rutherford, in the state of New Jersey.
The Jets who appeared with the American League in the '60 played first at the Polo Grounds but then moved to Shea Stadium, a stage they shared with the Mets of Major League Baseball. However, for the ‘84 season the planes had already made the decision to abandon the building and facing the inability to build one of their own, they came to an agreement with the Mara family to move to the colossus of Meadowlands.
The directors of the Colossos put some conditions that their tenants accepted, the stadium would continue to be called the Giants but in return details of the Jets would be added for when these were local such as placing the coat of arms and traditional colors, i.e. green and white.
So that afternoon in December 1983, American football stopped being played forever in the house of Frank Sinatra and Liza Minelli.

The field goal kicker and sometimes also Defensive (Defensive End) wing of the Dallas TEXANS, with his #81 Tommy BROOKER is lifted on his shoulders after scoring his second Field Goal, in the game that gave his TE- victory
TEXANS over the Houston OILERS, in the 1962 NFL Championship Game.
The former Texas Texans, competed in that state with the Lone Star Dallas COWBOYS,, and for this cause for the next tem-
porada, they were moved to Kansas City, where they changed their nickname from TEXANS to CHIEFS, adopting the name of the city, as they are known until now, Kansas City CHIEFS.
