[BrentCrude]

It said Upshaw was 63 but it looked like he was 95 where he shrunk to almost nothing.He had a double whammy as to why his health went sour,ex long term pro football player and controversial figure with a stressful life.

Did the players like this guy?I suppose you will see black arm bands at this weeks preseason games.

He's just another punk running people. Look at how he handled the gridiron greats... I'm not a upshaw fan. I didn't want to see him die or suffer, but has a very distinguised list of accomplishments that few could ever think to rival.
