72? Wow. I know pro-football takes a toll, but....
Don; you will be missed. RIP.
Not necessarily pro-football. My understanding is that just being of large stature lowers ones life expectancy
Well...true, But emphysema is usually associated with smoking.
How old are u fellas?
I’m 53....and will be thrilled to hit 72 if I’m that lucky..good genetics on height and modest decent looks and brain...bad genetics on heart
when I grew up only a few women lived past mid 70s and precious few men...most folks died in their 60s then
today Don only missed the male curve by a few years...when he was born it was 62 for white men born that year...and he picked up some credits from medical progress since then but he barely missed the mean
RIP Don. I grew up in the 60’s in Texas and watched him play every Sunday. Terrific player and great guy.
