My views of home, family and world events
When I first watched football in 1967, Seattle did not have a team (and wouldn't for another 10 years). The Rams were on TV practically every week, so I quickly became a Ram fan. I loved his name (perfect for the LA Colosseum where the team played its home games.
It was an era of great quarterbacks as Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, and Joe Namath also played in that era.
Gabriel was the NFL's first Filipino American quarterback. A two time All-American at North Carolina State, he finished his NFL career as a Philadelphia Eagle in 1977.
