By all accounts a good man. A son of a cotton gin worker from Tx. Wound his way to the nfl and had a great career. Made the most of playing with several qb's. Most notably. Broadway Joe. RIP.

I met him on my elementary school football field. I actually lined up against him and he corrected my stance. He was a fine man. God's speed Mr. Maynard.

While I wasn't a Jets fan as a young boy I was a huge fan of Don Maynard.

RIP Mr. Maynard.

I liked the Jets a lot. Him, Joe, Mike Battle.
Did he run out of his shoe in that pic?

I thought it was taped to cover, but I think you are right, he lost it.

Heck of a ball player for sure!!

I was a Jets fan that year. They were all pretty special.

That is what I said about Saget. I have heard of this NFL guy. I think for ORC and members of his generation this guy was somehow meaningful. The older you get the more you read the obits. I do think seeing a new Obit every day is a little much.

As you said ZS. You do not need to open the thread or give your opinion in it.
This guy was before my time so I do not remember him persae. So what you think you know about my generation, you don't know shit.
I do recognize him as a hall of famer and NFL great of a lost era. When I saw that he had passed the article talked about his life from childhood to death. To post about a person who has had a good life. Some of it in the spotlight, most not. It is worthwhile to post it so that those that know of him will know. Such as Adobesig did, some may have personal experience with the person.

If this bothers you. So be it. Get over it.
