Title: John Mackey dead at 69 Post by: 2Stater on July 07, 2011, 08:39:29 AM http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6745011
Quote Pro Football Hall of Famer John Mackey, who helped revolutionize the position of tight end, died on Wednesday. He was 69. Mackey, a former president of the NFL Players Association, played 10 seasons for the Baltimore Colts and San Diego Chargers, catching 331 passes for 5,236 yards and 38 touchdowns. Enshrined in 1992, Mackey was the second player elected to the Hall of Fame as a tight end. When I was a kid, I loved the Baltimore Colts with Mackey, Unitas, Lenny Moore, Tom Matte and Raymond Berry. Apparently Mackey had battled dementia for quite some time.

He was a joy to watch and everything I think we ever heard from him was positive. RTR!
