RIP Ken Stabler

Only 69. One of my all time favorites even though I hated trading Pastorini for him.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

RIP.  One of my first Oilers items was a Snake Rattle.

If so, ESPN got hoaxed.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

The man lived very hard.  .  Loved watching him play football.  Wish he could have won the fight with some demons.
Always ready to go to a game.

Demons fight the hardest.  RIP.

Colon cancer killed him, not sure if the hard living demons were a factor, could have been.

"Genetic factors may determine a person’s susceptibility to the disease, whereas dietary and other lifestyle factors may determine which individuals at risk actually go on to form polyps (and later cancers). Diets high in fat and low in fruits and vegetables may increase the risk of polyps. Lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity may also increase the risk. - See more at: http://preventcancer.org/prevention/preventable-cancers/colorectal-cancer/faq/#what-causes-polyp"

Didn't mentioned listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a contributing factor, like I thought it would.

Get your colonoscopies folks. It is one of the most curable cancers if found early. There is nothing to fear in the procedure except for the day prior when you are cleaning out your system. Now that I think about it, I'm overdue.

It's about time for mine too. RIP Snake
