yeah, that's too bad....

I remember him back in the early 1970's when I was a kid.....He had quite the life, and had cleaned himself up in later years..

Ahh the good old days. I always liked Ray. I enjoyed the CFL back then. I'm not sure what happened to it but now it seems like sandlot compared to the NFL. Maybe it started when they sacrificed everything in order to get huge scores and touchdowns every posession...like letting the receivers run up to the line before the ball is snapped. It looks stupid and without a running game there's not a lot of strategy.
