George Frederick Blanda (born September 17, 1927) is a former American football placekicker and quarterback. The son of a Pittsburgh area coal miner, Blanda has the distinction of having played 26 seasons of professional football, the most in the sport's history, and had scored more points than anyone in history at the time of his retirement. Blanda was the starting quarterback his last two seasons at the University of Kentucky (1947 - 1948), compiling 120 completions in 242 passes (.496 percentage), 1,451 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. Blanda was signed by the Chicago Bears for $600 in 1949, but it would not be until 1953 that Blanda would emerge as the Bears' top signal caller. Blanda retired after the 1958 NFL season because of Halas' insistence on only using him as a kicker, but returned in 1960 upon the formation of the American Football League and signed with the Houston Oilers as both a quarterback and kicker. Derided by the sports media as an "NFL Reject", Blanda went on to lead the Oilers to the first two league titles in AFL history, and he was the All-AFL quarterback and won AFL Player of the Year in 1961. During that season, he led the AFL in passing yards (3,330) and touchdown passes. His 36 touchdown passes in 1961 were the most ever thrown by any NFL or AFL quarterback in a single season, and would remain the record until surpassed by Dan Marino's 48 touchdown passes in 1984. His 42 interceptions in 1962 is a record that still stands. Blanda currently holds six NFL records and in 1999, he was ranked number 98 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. Blanda retired from professional football in 1975.
