Gene Upshaw Passes [Pancreatic Cancer]

[Mike]

Wow. That is fast even for pancreatic cancer. I hope I never have cancer, but the last two I would want would be colon or pancreatic. Those two are incredibly nasty and laugh at chemo. Death from those usually comes with alot of suffering.

Prayers to his family.

Agree with all the comments here. The NFLPA may try to become more like the MLBPA with Gene's passing. I always considered him more reasonable than the MLBPA, which is why the NFL has prospered more than MLB.

We will all miss Gene Upshaw. A fine gentleman.

I grew up watching Upshaw, Shell, and Otto, what a group. Gene was the modern OLT before there was an OLT. He will be missed.
