Expected to exclaim about the charms of the carioca moças, Mike could only grunt about the weather. Next morning the papers smirkingly conjectured, "Maybe Mike Henry doesn't like women." Then, even faithful chimpanzee...
...moves? Against the Washington Redskins, Hayes was guarded by Cornerback Johnny Sample, a clever, seven-year veteran who did not give up a single touchdown pass all last year. On a little "slant-in" pass play designed for short yardage, Bob zigged left, zagged right, zigged back-and left Sample standing there with his legs crossed as Hayes scampered...
