R.I.P.
This is sad news. We here at the Squealer are die-hard Buffalo Bills fans, and we know Jack Kemp's name not just because he was a congressman, presidential candidate and vice president nominee. We know him because he led the Bills to back-to-back AFL Championships, then within one game of the first-ever Super Bowl. Jack Kemp. The name just oozes football.
As everyone knows by now, Kemp died last week at the age of 73. For me, it's always strange to see athletes laid low by old age and frailty. It happens to us all. If you can't admire Kemp for his athletic prowess, admire him for doing so much with his life after being an athlete.
