Gene Upshaw Passes [Pancreatic Cancer]

[HPF Bob]

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.
