    There's a joke to be made about his coffin leaving town in the middle of the night and being buried elsewhere...

    but I won't make it.

    Not surprised. Dude has really battled addiction. His body must have been wrecked and just given out.


    He actually did a ton of great things for so many people. I don’t judge him for his demons. The good far outweighs any problem he ever had.

    Absolutely, the $$ he poured into Mental Health programs was phenomenal. His father was a grade A P*ick and took a hell of a lot of abuse as a kid..............RIP

    he was revising his will to liquidate 5/6 of his brokerage assets and allocate the first 25% as a capital contribution to shore up the football franchise's finances, but was also in the process of buying some rare animal pelts to display in his living room. so, instead of using that 83 draft to get the top quarter back to the Colts, he ended up trading it...to den fur.
