Summit had been sick for quite a while, hadn't she?

IIRC the dementia was diagnosed in 2011 and she retired at the end of the 2011-12 season. So it happened pretty fast. Awful way to go out.

Someone I know well, he got Cancer and then dementia was sort of setting in and he went quickly after that...  I was glad for him, as that is a terrible way to live.  My grandmother had it after her bouts with cancer as well and I remember it vividly.  I was 12 iirc.  It was horrible, and she suffered too long with it.

I lost my sister about 3 months ago to early-onset Alzheimer's.  Truly a grueling, terrible way to go.  She battled the disease for 7 years.

"They are who we thought they were!"

"And we let 'em off the hook!!!"  :D

Probably the most epic NFL postgame rant ever, along with Jim Mora's "Playoffs?!?!" classic.

I remember when he interviewed to be 'Skins coach, always thought we dodged a bullet there.
