Still not seeing this from any of the major outlets. Turned on ESPN a couple minutes ago and Mike & Mike was on and they made no mention of it, instead talking about Usain Bolt. I'd imagine that would have been their top story today if it was true.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Gene Upshaw dead at 63

I'm really beginning to think someone jumped the gun @ that radio station. He's might be really sick & in the hospital, but not dead. Similar to what happened w/Bernie Mack.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

A big banner is @ nfl.com confirming the death. Condolences to his family. Loved him as a player. That O-line he was on was impenetrable.
