"59" would be the number of a linebacker on the defensive side in football.
It would also be the age of a linebacker playing college football.
37 years after he was kicked off his college team, Sul Ross (Alpine, TX), Mike Flynt has decided to finish out his senior year of elgibility.

There comes a time in every man's life, a very sad day; It's the day when the last man our age retires from the NFL. Most of us know deep-down we'd never have stood a chance of making an NFL roster, but as long as there was some old fart our own age playing, we could harbor the illusion that we COULD have played pro ball.
For my dad, that guy was George Blanda. For me, it was Joe Montana. I'm more than old enough to have a boy playing in the NFL but the sad thing is I'm old enough to have one in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. -sigh-
The following is NOT a photo of Mr. Flynt; it's a photo of the oldest person in professional football, Saul Good, the trainer for the Women's Pro League franchise in Texas, the Houston Ho's.
Saul specializes in shoulder pad adjustments and after-practice rubdowns.

Don't let him get you alone in the towel closet.
