Say what you will, but he was one tough sob.

And he should be missed by everybody.

[Mister Hoarse]

In an age where the play was more violent than now, he made it to 89.
Today the average lifespan for an NFL player is 57.

I rarely go there myself. It's worthy to post it over here too.

I really was thinking about posting it here, but since he's not a Charger, and his play was mostly before the creation of the Chargers, and that thread was created for RIPs, I wanted to keep it going. He's an NFL great, but most casual modern day fans other than from the Eagles and Giants it's just a passing. I'm not sure which way he knocked Gifford's brain, since he did marry Kathy Lee. The Eagles are kind of like the Chargers too that they haven't won a league championship since the sixties.
