Where did you see that the cause of death was a heart attack?  I assume it was, based on the circumstances (collapse while playing racquetball), but I hadn't seen the cause of death reported anywhere. 

I thought that's what jsonline reported but I might be in error.  Perhaps an assumption on my part.

I heard or read that somewhere as well, but can't remember where.

People still talking about Dez Bryant?  I think that "catch" has officially jumped the shark.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/prisoner-sues-nfl-for--88-billion-over-dez-bryant-s-overturned-catch-154343589.html

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

February 3, 1959 is, of course, the day the music died.  This link will take you to the front page of our Milwaukee Journal from that date, showing the chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane wreckage near Mason City, Iowa that took Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and “The Big Bopper” way too soon.  Ritchie Valens “won” a coin toss to get the last seat on the plane.  Waylon Jennings stayed back.

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19590203&id=9TEoAAAAIBAJ&sjid=siUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5024,1783773

For you Packer fans, of note from that newspaper is mention of Vince Lombardi arriving in Green Bay the day before.  So glad he had a better pilot!
 
And an interesting note, given the vaccination thread: 

I also see 21 school kids were barred from attending public school in New Jersey because they had not been vaccinated against polio.  Do you think Chris Christie was one of them?

If they had extended his contract sooner, maybe he wouldn't have needed the supplemental income.    Kind of puts underinflated balls into perspective, aina?

I don't expect the offense to change much.  I expect McCarthy to be spending a lot more time on defense and special teams.

According to Rotoworld:

"At least ten" former members of the Lovie Smith and Marc Trestman coaching staffs told ESPN Chicago the Bears "can't consistently compete for championships" with Jay Cutler as the quarterback.

Two Bears teammates also said they consider Cutler "a divisive figure with whom they'd rather not continue to play." Beat writer Michael C. Wright still expects the Bears to give Cutler "one last shot," something his contract almost requires they do. It's no secret Cutler essentially sabotaged Trestman's offense, refusing to operate within the confines of the system. When asked about his willingness to adhere to any offensive structure, several ex-Bears coaches used the terms "renegade" and "rogue" to describe Cutler's play

Eagles have reportedly traded Lesean Mccoy to the Bills for Kiko Alonso...

interesting move to say the least. Maybe going for an RB in the first round?

Doubt it.  My guess is Kelly feels that most backs can be productive in his system so I don't see them allocating a lot of resources or a high draft pick to the position.  It does sound like he wants to trade up for Mariotta.

Pack gonna let Cobb hit the market.  Genius move TT.  Adams struggled mostly as the 3.   

Would be nice to add a Suh or McCourtey but we know proven talent can't come here.

Have you taken a look at the WRs who make $12 million/year?  Cobb isn't even close to that level.  Cobb isn't even the #1 receiver.  You want Ted to pay his #2 receiver $12 million/year?  Wow.  Talk about a genius move...

And yeah, I guess Julius Peppers wasn't proven.

No thanks to a punk who's going to be paid more than any defensive player in the NFL.
