    5 greatest NFL Latino players of all time.
    I saw a Coors Light commercial with Tom Flores in it just now and wondered why he isn't in the hall of fame? Got me Latino thinking.

    I did a little research while watching the early game today on the side to find out who were the greatest NFL Latino players?. Best link I could find.

    Top 5 - https://www.sportscasting.com/the-5-...s-of-all-time/

    1- Tony Gonzalez
    2 - Anthony Munoz
    3 - Ted Hendricks
    4 - Tony Romo
    5 - Jim Plunkett


    Tony Romo - I was surprised to see him on that list. His dad was Mexican.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Romo



    Ted Hendricks - Born in Guatemala - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Hendricks




    Now with Tom Flores - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Flores

    Tom Flores won a championship as a player with the Kansas City Chiefs in 1969, as an assistant with the Oakland Raiders in 1976, and as a head coach for the Raiders in 1980 and 1983. He is the fifth-leading passer in the AFL's history.

    However he road the tail of John Madden and he did throw alot of interceptions. 93 touchdowns to 92 interceptions during his NFL career. He bombed as a head coach in Seattle then after and got fired as the head coach.

    He still is on the brink of making the NFL hall of fame though.


    THAT'S it just a little LATINO NFL TRIVIA FOR YOU ALL -

          Good one!!

          I think his criminal history kept him off all the NFL Latino greats when searching links. He was maybe the best.

                  Fake news Horseshoe!! Joe Montana is Italian.

                  Montana was born to Joseph Clifford Montana Sr. (1932–2017) and Theresa Marie Bavuso Montana (1935–2004) in New Eagle, Pennsylvania,[10] a borough of Washington County located in the western portion of the state. He grew up in the city of Monongahela, a coal mining town 25 miles (40 km) south of Pittsburgh.[11]
                  Montana's family were Italian-American, the name Montana being an Americanized form of the surname Montani, which comes from northern Italy.

                    Hendricks' father was American and his mother was Ita!ian, although born in Guatemala; that doesn't make him Latino.

                              LOL. Ted Hendricks is about as Latino as Hitler.

                              Romo is half hispanic, I guess? I thought he was Italian for a long time. He is half Polish.

                              Plunkett did at least look kind of Mexican.

                                      Agreed, that one is a bit suspect. We need a DNA family tree history check on that claim with Hendricks?





                                      Tony Romo still a half breed. I don't know where you go with that one either?

                                      It's like if you have a white mother and black father are you still black? I think society today will consider you Black. Fine line there????????

                                          It is kind of like the Olympics where you have black guys from the US playing for Sweden.

                                              We gotta start rounding this sh!t off to the highest number lol


                                              50-50 doesn't make you one or the other

                                              If one parent was already mixed, then ok I'd say it's fair to round it off to whatever that may be

                                              Is anyone talking about the scrubs who are mixed?

                                              No, we only want to make claim to something, even undeservingly so, when it matters

                                                Having Indian blood in you is really a curse. I only count full bloods. Plunkett's whiteness was pretty watered down. He was only about 1/4. I'd count him.

                                                Hernandez was half PR which means he's got black blood. That is cheating but pretty watered down but it goes a long way.

                                                      Latino has to be South American. The Caribs do not consider themselves Latino so far as I know. They have too much white. They are proud of it.

                                                        50-50 doesn't make you one or the other

                                                        If one parent was already mixed, then ok I'd say it's fair to round it off to whatever that may be

                                                        Is anyone talking about the scrubs who are mixed?

                                                        No, we only want to make claim to something, even undeservingly so, when it matters
                                                        My mother is full Italian and my Dad is all American white boy. I always considered myself white boy American but will play the Italian card at times.

                                                        Kinda like Lenny Kravitz the musician. Jewish WHITE father and was even raised Jewish but has a black mother. He's considered black still. 50/50's are tough calls?

                                                        Can play the race card both ways

                                                                So Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala don't count either. They are Central America.
