Nash who?

Chuck Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, died early Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles said. He was 89.

damn he must have put in a good licking on that Football Giant who's laid out cold

The one and only Frank Gifford. I think he retired for a season.

That turf looks pretty good.

44 looks genuinely concerned.

Holy crap, I didn't even hear about it, but Anita Ekberg passed away this last January.

She was one of my favorite statuesque bombshells of the 50s and 60s. A classic in every way.

RIP Chuck. For some reason, I thought he had died a while ago. I liked his commentary on NFL nostalgia shows.

I don't like seeing that hit on Frank Gifford. In the old days, when NFL Films was cool, that was one of two oft-repeated highlights I would have preferred never to see (the Holy Intentional Grounding being the other). It's almost as bad as accidentally seeing Joe Theismann's leg bone sticking out, but, at least with that one, nobody kept re-showing it. Unfortunately, some things I can't unsee.

The man who freed jazz and funk. Not really my style (I like my jazz and funk reined in a bit), but he gets points for originality and experimentation. Plus, his son is a great drummer.

RIP.
