MrWonderful 481 Posted June 24, 2020 On 30/05/2020 at 22:56, MrWonderful said: We just don't know what kind of cancer it is. I saw it on another article described as a "treatable but aggressive form of cancer." Definitely needs to be put on watch lists. A bit more info on Floyd Little. His wife says he's responding well to treatments for stage 2 NET cancer. He's going to undergo chemo every day for two weeks, wait two weeks, and then do the chemo again every day for two weeks. From what I could gather, chemo on this type of cancer is not generally very effective, unless it's anaplastic metastatic disease, or SSRS-negative tumors. He could very well be one to watch for 2021, despite this seemingly-positive update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 4, 2020 Former Michigan State All-American punter Greg Montgomery Jr. passed away on Aug. 23, 2020. He was 55 (1964-2020). A two-time first-team All-American (1986-87) and three-time All-Big Ten First Team selection (1985-87), Montgomery ranks first in Spartan history in punting average (45.2 ypp), which also ranks second in the history of the Big Ten Conference. Montgomery kicked three of the six longest punts in MSU history, including a school-record long 86-yarder at Michigan in 1986. He also had an 80-yarder vs. Indiana in 1985 and a 75-yarder vs. Michigan in 1985. During his career, he registered at least one punt of 50 yards or more in 33 of 35 outings. Montgomery was selected in the third round (No. 72 overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers. He spent nine years in the NFL (Houston, 1988-93; Detroit, 1994; Baltimore, 1996-97) and was a first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 1993 after leading the NFL in punting (45.6 avg.).

MrWonderful 481 Posted September 23, 2020 I remember watching NFL films as a kid and marveled at "the razor-sharp cutting ability of Gale Sayers." What a talent he was before injuries cut short his career, a talent so undeniable that he still became a Hall Of Famer. Hit #16 for me, also. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
