Another one of my favorite RBs gone.....
Former NFL running back Chuck Muncie has died of a heart attack at the age of 60.
"Sadly, we have learned of the untimely passing of Chuck Muncie," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement on the team's website. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and other loved ones at this difficult time."
Muncie, who also played for the San Diego Chargers, was a three-time Pro Bowler who rushed for*6,702 yards and 71 rushing touchdowns in 110 career games.
"Everyone at the Chargers is deeply saddened by the passing of Chuck Muncie, one of the greatest running backs in Chargers history," the team said in a statement. "We will remember him as a tremendous athlete with a larger-than-life personality. It's a sad day for all of us and all Chargers fans."

Deacon Jones, a prototype of the pass-rushing defensive end who became a master of the sack and one of the N.F.L.’s greatest defensive players with the Los Angeles Rams’ line known as the Fearsome Foursome, died on Monday in Anaheim Hills, Calif. He was 74.
Deacon Jones parlayed his size — 6 feet 5 inches and 270 pounds or so — his strength and his agility to glamorize defensive play.
His death was announced by the Washington Redskins through their general manager, Bruce Allen, whose father, George Allen, coached Jones with the Rams and the Washington Redskins.

We would sit for hours just listening to him and other lineman from his time tell stories. Priceless!
He'll be missed greatly during HOF weekend.

The kid across the hall from him is Phil's son and he told me Phil visits quite often.
So, I gave him one of my football cards of Phil and Phil signed it for me. Awesome!

L.C. Greenwood, former Pittsburgh Steeler, 4 time Super Bowl champion, and 6 time Pro Bowler died today of natural causes at age 67. He should have been in the Hall of Fame already. RIP #68.
