Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 12, 2016 News that's 5 minutes old: Howard Hokie Gajan, a football presence in Louisiana for more than 40 years, died Monday. For the past 15 years, Gajan was the analyst of New Orleans Saints broadcasts on WWL-AM, but he was an all-state back at Baker High School and later a productive back at LSU under Charlie McClendon and Jerry Stovall. He went from being a 10th-round draft choice the 249th pick in 1981 to a prominent runner with the Saints under Bum Phillips and Jim Mora. Gajan was diagnosed with cancer last year, and his daughter Kristin Gajan Sell told WWL Radio on Monday morning that Gajan had been moved to intensive care. RIP, big loss to Who Dat nation.

gcreptile 10,972 Posted June 28, 2016 So for whatever the 1985 Superbowl Bears were invited to the white house today. Pictured holding the trophy is Buddy Ryan. Judging by how he looks and the news about his wife dying of Alzheimers earlier in the year makes me think he is someone who might be worth a DDP pick in 2014.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 30, 2016 A former Indianapolis Colts running back died Tuesday after accidentally shooting himself in the stomach at a Roseville car dealership earlier in the day, according to authorities. Zurlon Tipton, 26, of Detroit, was pronounced dead at St. John Hospital & Medical Center in Detroit, said Lloyd Jackson, a spokesman for the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office. Investigators said Tipton had discharged one of two handguns he had in a backpack of a Jeep Wrangler that he brought in for service at Mike Riehl’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at 25800 Gratiot Avenue near Frazho Road. "Thanks for bringing your vehicle to Mike Riehl’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for service. So what's wrong with the Jeep sir?'"There's a little popping sound coming from the back seat" SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 4, 2016 I don't think his will see 2017 but he should be deathlist on next year. Wrong. DL isn't the least bit interested in American sports figures. There are those here (LMAO) who would suggest the UK media 'might not publish an obit' for Starr, or Jim Kelly for instance. As if. I can't say Gordie Howe was a miss, he had experimental injections with an unknown shelf life. Now we know. Bart Starr is a lock to die inside of 18 months. So yes, he should be in the top 15 of DL next year if he makes it. But you'll not see him. Or Jim Kelly. Or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Or Stan Mikita. Or..... (Before I hear it let's nip this shit in the bud: Ali transcended sports.) SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,982 Posted July 5, 2016 The NFL is overwhelming the number 1 sport in America and Bart Starr is an Icon of one of it's most popular teams.If Kirk Kekorian and Fergie Frederiksen met the threshold for Us name inclusion in the past, I don't see why Starr couldn't get a spot in the top 50 should he be alive Jan 1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
