Completely Off-Topic: Gene Upshaw

I just read that Gene Upshaw died last night or this morning. Obviously, he's a football guy, and not even an official, but I just thought I'd mention it. I always thought that he did a ton of good work for the NFL players, making them wealthier than ever, without trying to destroy the league to do it (unlike MLB's labor leaders). I don't remember him from his playing days, but I always thought he handled himself and the union very well.

Well-wishes to his family.
