drol 11,946 Posted June 14, 2019 On 06/08/2018 at 21:22, Sir Creep said: Tom Heckert, a former personnel executive for the Eagles, the Cleveland Browns and most recently the Denver Broncos, has died following a long illness, the Broncos said. He was 51. Heckert stepped away from the Broncos after last season after being diagnosed in recent years with amyloidosis, a rare disease that causes a buildup of amyloid proteins in the heart, kidney, liver and other organs. He died Sunday night. So let's start a 'people in the Denver Broncos organization that Pat Bowlen has outlived' list. Here's our first entry. SC (Edit -- beaten by a minute, but that's because Sir Creep ADDS VALUE to all his posts, and that takes time. So it shant be deleted or apologized for. On the contrary, it is emblazoned as a paradigm of 'how to' that shall be studied by DLers for years to come). Stop the list. Pat Bowlen has died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 25, 2019 Kerry Marbury, a former West Virginia University football standout considered among the top prep players in state history, has died at 67. Marbury passed away Sunday morning. Marbury rushed for 1,665 yards and 22 touchdowns over the 1971 and 1972 seasons. He carried the ball 145 times for 890 yards as a sophomore, before rushing for 775 yards on 150 attempts as a junior. He also set the school’s single-game rushing record with a 291-yard output against Temple, a mark that has since been topped. Marbury did not stick around for his senior season, electing to turn pro instead. He signed a contract with the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts, but his football career was over several years later. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
