Old School?

I was listening to Rich Eisen's recent podcast. Actor Jason Bateman was one of his guests. Eisen frequently has non-football personalities on his show, but just as frequently the conversation turns to football. Since Bateman lives in Los Angeles, he was fairly excited to hear of the possibility of not one, but two new football teams in the LA area. Coming soon. Technically, they would only be new to LA. They would be two current teams that move for the money. This actually makes it even more exciting than going through the usual growing pains of an expansion team. Anyway, Bateman mentioned that he was a Raiders fan back when the team had their little southern sabbatical. Upon mention of Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett, Eisen said that Bateman was "old school". My goodness. I was more than a little surprised. Even though the two QBs played forty years years ago I certainly don't think of either as old school. I was just a young lad when both entered the league, but they still had hard plastic helmets and at least one facebar. Old school is leather helmets. No facemasks and legal clothesline tackles. Night Train and Crazylegs. The Galloping Ghost and drop kicks. Plunkett and Stabler weren't even born when old school was in session.
