RIP to Gene Upshaw

NFL Union Rep Leader Gene Upshaw passed away last night with his wife and his 3 sons by his side. Upshaw was 63. on the football field he is One of the Greatest Offensive Guards Ever. he always held his own. he is a Hall of Famer and he was something else. He won two championships with the Oakland Raiders. he went on to be a Union Man and over the past few years he had his detractors,but when asked again could you find a better leader then most of those same cats were like Nope. He could talk the Owners language and the Comiss Lingo as well. no matter who was in charge of the NFL they had to deal with Gene Upshaw and he said what he had to say and did things his own way. it's great to hear a fellow peer of his like the Great Deacon Jones speak on Gene Upshaw on the field and also as a Union head. without Gene Upshaw the current salarys enjoyed by many today would be half of that. He was a Ground breaker. RIP.
