@FootballLearn1 We all should. He was smart, honest, compassionate and considerate. Not often you find pro sport GMs with those traits. Huge loss for NFL ... and anyone who had the good fortune to know him.
So, so sad to wake up to news that #ErnieAccorsi passed away. Ernie was the first GM I covered (Baltimore Colts) & I'll never forget what he said when we first met: "I will never lie to you. I may not tell you everything, but I'll never lie to you." And he never did. #NYgiants
@WixieEarlWilson Wonderful guy. Covered Colts in '83 draft when he drafted Elway & always respected him for not giving in to Irsay (Bob). "Not going to go to my grave known as the guy who traded away the next Unitas," he said. He didn't. Man of conviction and courage. Rare combo in pro sports.
That Rick Gosselin, the most conscientious and well-researched member of the @ProFootballHOF selection committee I saw in my 32 years as a voter, has been removed from the voting group gives me doubts about the future of the Hall. It’s outrageous.
It was a privilege serving on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee and representing Houston, the Oilers and Texans, but I was told I didn’t make the cut from 50 to 28, including 3 non-voting members, under the new by-laws. Among the changes, no city or team will have a representative and no more individual presentations for finalists will be made. Thank you to the Hall of Fame for having me as a small part of the process for more than 3 decades.

“The most exciting moment in #Saints history”
22 August 1962. The Beatles were filmed for the 1st time by Granada TV at the original Cavern Club in Liverpool. The filming occurred just a week after Pete Best was sacked from the group. This is the only film of The Beatles at the Cavern Club.
@YESNetwork "I don't want to just jump to putting some guys in bad situations," says the manager who batted a guy (Ramos) hitting .062 as a Yankee and is 0-for-his-last 23 third in today's order.
Filmed last week at Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
Last week, Officer David Brown, 34, LAPD K9 Unit, and his eight-year-old Belgian Malinois partner Rocky responded to an armed situation. Brown was shot four times during the confrontation. Rocky stood over him, growling at everyone — even other officers - until paramedics convinced him they were helping.
Brown survived emergency surgery and spent three days in ICU. Hospital policy normally doesn't allow dogs, but the department advocated hard — Rocky had been inconsolable since the shooting, refusing food and other handlers, just pacing and whining.
The hospital agreed to a visit yesterday.
The footage shows Brown bandaged across his shoulder, side, and leg as Officer Brown brings Rocky in on leash. Rocky stops, stares, then breaks into a sprint and leaps onto the bed — carefully, avoiding the injuries
— and lies across Brown chest.
Brown wraps his arms around him, crying.
Rocky stayed for a full sixty minutes. Sometimes an American K9 partner just needs to see you're still breathing.
