JOE THEISMANN
Pencil signature on his golf scorecard from the Dan Marino CGA Invitational (1996)
Scorecard signed: "Joe Theismann", 5x3. His pencil signature on a printed scorecard from the CGA Dan Marino Invitational golf tournament, Arvida's Weston Hills Country Club, February 8-11, 1996. Theisman has scored a disappointing 89 in what appears to be the third round of the 4-day tournament, after averaging 76 on each of the first two days, for a 54-hole total of 241. Theismann led Notre Dame's Fighting Irish to a 20-3-2 record and was runner-up in the voting for the Heisman Trophy in 1970. After his college hall mates hung a banner, "Theismann for Heisman", Joe changed the pronunciation of his name to conform to this rhyme. Theismann began his pro career with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, bringing them to the CFL championship game, the Grey Cup, before signing with the Washington Redskins in 1974, where he wore the no. 7 jersey. In 1982, Joe Theismann led the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII. He went to the Pro Bowl and was voted to the UPI All-NFC Team. The next year, he led the team to a 14-2 regular season record, followed by a 51-7 rout of the L.A. Rams in the NFC playoffs. The Redskins lost that Super Bowl. Theismann was named the AP's NFL MVP, the AP Offensive Player of the Year, the Pro Bowl Player of the Game and to the All-NFL Team. Theismann set Redskin team records with 3,602 pass attempts, 2,044 completions, 162 consecutive passes without an interception and 25,506 total passing yards. A gruesome broken leg resulting from a sack in a Monday night game against the New York Giants ended Theismann's career in 1985. Theismann subsequently became a sportscaster with ESPN. Edges frayed and lightly toned. Signed in pencil. Otherwise, fine condition.
