Blanda, for sure. Blanda was 10yrs older than Madden.

In 1970, Blanda was released during the exhibition season, but bounced back to establish his 21st professional season. During that season, Blanda, at age 43, had a remarkable five-game run. Against the Steelers, Blanda threw for three touchdowns in relief of an injured Daryle Lamonica. One week later, his 48-yard field goal with three seconds remaining salvaged a 17–17 tie with the Kansas City Chiefs. On November 8, he again came off the bench to throw a touchdown pass to tie the Cleveland Browns with 1:34 remaining, then kicked a 53-yard field goal with 0:03 left for the 23–20 win. Immediately after the winning field goal, Raiders radio announcer Bill King excitedly declared, "George Blanda has just been elected King of the World!"^[5] In the team's next game, Blanda replaced Lamonica in the fourth quarter and connected with Fred Biletnikoff on a touchdown pass with 2:28 left in the game to defeat the Denver Broncos, 24–19.^[6] The following week, Blanda's 16-yard field goal in the closing seconds defeated the San Diego Chargers, 20–17.

Thx, Roscoe! It's the thought that counts.

If u like old-school sports, u came to the right place.

FWIW, I met Raider TE Raymond Chester at the Orleans in Vegas. Not too long ago, like 6months ago, guy still looked like he could play. Was featured in one of those clips on pass from Blanda.

It's amazing how similar Sr + Jr were genetically. One of the coolest videos was Dad/Son hitting BB hr's for Mariners.
