And she turns 98 in less than a month. Not much point(s) to keeping her in mind for one’s 2016 Death Pool list!

DAMN. On my all-NFL list I didn’t have him although I had teammate Ditka, and teammates Lilly, Wright and White as alternates.

Er, I mean, R.I.P. Jethro Pugh. Super Bowl VI is the earliest Super Bowl I remember watching: Cowboys 24 - Dolphins 3. I’m pretty sure Pugh was on that team.
