Remembering Joe Delaney

[SeatownJay]

36 years ago today, the NFL lost one of its bright young stars, and the world lost a good person. Even though I was a young Seahawks fan and KC was a big divisional rival Joe's play made me a fan of his. For those that are unfamiliar with him, I urge you to read this Sports Illustrated article from Rick Reilly: https://www.si.com/vault/2003/07/07/345 ... dinary-joe.

Had never heard about this before. Tragic outcome.

A true hero, couldn't swim hardly at all but wanted to save others. That is guts and as selfless as you could get.

Amazing story, next level selfless act. That's a really well written article. Sounds like that kid was all class too. Thx for sharing.
