Irishman Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 A true legend of the game. Always loved watching games when it was Winter in Minnesota. But he had some great teams that it seems do not get as much attention as they deserve. RIP Coach. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35835975/bud-grant-led-vikings-4-super-bowls-hof-career-dies 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 Another legend passes. The case could easily be made that he is on a shortlist of the best, toughest, and most physical players to ever put pads on. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37685864/all-great-running-back-jim-brown-dies-87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lifelong love affair with football began as a young kid growing up in a western suburb of Cleveland. My interest in the game paralleled his career, and I watched almost every NFL game he ever played. On the field, he was like a force of nature. He was the best football player I ever saw. But, he was also much more than a football player, and it would be short changing his legacy to think of him only on those terms. Incidentally, he was also one of the greatest players in the history of NCAA lacrosse. When I played lacrosse at Notre Dame, I wore #32 in his honor. A very sad day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Another legend passes. I know this will hit hard for the Bears fans here, especially those old enough to have enjoyed watching him play. Thank God for the genius of Steve Sabol and NFL Films for allowing us to see so much of his and other legends’ careers in such detail. RIP Dick https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38577860/dick-butkus-hall-fame-linebacker-chicago-bears-dies 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
