|
|
| :cry: Just announced that former longtime San Francisco 49ers Coach Bill Walsh died at his home this morning of leukemia. He was 75. Walsh was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in 1993 and coached the 49ers to Super Bowl victories in 1981, 1984, and 1988. He was one of the greats, guys. :cry: |

Very good possibility with that but he's making a ton of money Collecting from the Lions and all the money he's making from NFL Network.
He was just up here a few weeks ago |
