This humorous hand-drawn envelope was sent in 1927. It shows a long-snapper hiking the football to a quarterback who is so far off in the distance that he can barely be seen yelling “A13, Shift, 5x, 176!” It seemed appropriate to post while The “Grate” One who now occupies the Presidency of the United States, has been busy attacking the National Football League because players, coaches, and team owners are protesting. Furthermore, he contends that the game is becoming too soft (the players who have concussions and die early deaths are “fake news”)–to name just a few of his complaints. It’s interesting that when he tried to buy a team years ago, owners rose up against letting him into the league because he was such a known corrupt shyster or conman. We need the humor.

The back of the envelope (not shown) has a drawing of a path that leads past a cactus to an outhouse, with a sign pointing to the outhouse reading, “THE END OF THE TRAIL.”
