He was a rival of the acient Dallas Cowboys... but a GREAT ONE!

one of the greats

What a shame he couldn't make the ceremony this weekend to see his jersey retired which is a rare thing in Pittsburgh.
He gave an in-person interview just two days ago and looked fine.
What a sad surprise.

 

[Peartree]

What is it with all these famous folks dying in their 70's?

 

[Johnly]

I remember watching the reception as it occurred on network television.
Still remember the cameraman wildly panning while trying to figure out what happened.
Watching the reception in slow motion is the best way to enjoy it.
