RIP Tom Dempsey

[hawksfansinceday1]

Victim of the virus, If you're of an age you know he held the record for longest FG in NFL history at 63 yards for many years. Did it at sea level in New Orleans not a mile high in Denver. 1971 iirc. RIP Tom.

I used to watch that highlight every single week in the original "Inside the NFL" intro. That show was never the same after Len Dawson and Nick Buoniconti...

Yes it was ..I loved that show with those two doing it as well.
TD was in a nursing home and was dying before the virus.
I hope he is in a better place.RIP
