That's too bad. He was a real class act. Will be sorely missed in the Front office.

[QUOTE=sportsguy]He was one of the Few people you can not say bad things about..
[QUOTE]

He beat his wife half to death. He cut through a door with a chain saw to get at her at one point and held guns to her head. His womanzing is documented. All his wives and mistresses have accused him of cheating and abuse. These stories have been documented through several periodicals.

Sad that he died, but lets give an honest evaluation of the man.
