    As a cowboy fan, we sure did hate facing him and his teams, but always a class guy...

    Q.E.P.D. Mr. Bill Walsh.

    I hear that the first 15 plays in heaven are going to be scripted. :(

    I've forgotten all the details but he was once almost the Oilers head coach; he came in second in the running to whomever Sid Gillman hired after he fired Bill Peterson and served himself as interim coach.

    Was it Warren Moon's coach in Edmonton... Hugh Campbell?

    A passing of a good guy.

    RIP - Here is a Bill Walsh Story, I head from a friend of mine in Vegas.


    He was playing black jack at the MGM about 10 years ago, and was sitting at 3rd base and kept screwing the table by hitting and taking the dealers bust card.

    There was a crowd of people watching, and finally one of the guys at the table, an oil man from Oklahoma and sporting a full 10 gallon hat got angry and called him an idiot.

    Bill Walsh stood up and started screaming "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" after a couple of times him saying that the Oil man stood up and hammered Walsh right in the nose, Walsh crumpled to the floor.

    They escorted the Oil man out to a round of applause.....Walsh was groggy and bloodied and had to be helped to his room.
