Around SBN: This Hawks Fan is Thoroughly Befuddled Bar-right-arrows



RIP Gene Upshaw

This came as a total shock to me — I didn't even know he was sick. I guess I've been away from the Bay for too long.

Age 63 may seem old to a lot of the kids on here, but it's way too soon. I remember rooting for him as a kid during his mid-late-'70s Raiders heyday. He always seemed like a very cool, charismatic dude, and a born leader. No surprise he became head of the players' union.

Anyway, thoughts, prayers, condolences to the family, etc.

They only found out about his cancer...

…last Sunday. That is too sad. RIP Gene.

anybody

would know how much my signed ball by him would cost now?

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!
