You must have missed his appearance at the tribute to Jerry Rice last season. It was public knowledge then & (sad to say) he looked very much like like someone with terminal cancer.
His obits aren't doing him enough justice, glowing as they are, among the thigns they missed is that he is directly responsible for creating the importance of the left tackle position. Orlando Pace should have paid him half his salary when he got drafted #1 overall.

we played a round at Harding Park today (1st time since the remodel; it kicked my ass like always) and saw the TV in the bar broadcast this. While it has been said that "the graveyards are full of indispensable people" it's hard to imagine someone leaving a bigger footprint on a sport.

His style of offense unquestionably changed the way pro football was played for 20+ years, and his mark on bay area sports history is without comparison. The Niners, between his genius and DeBartolo's free-spending style, became the most successful sports dynasty ever in the bay area.
