This happened a few days ago, but I didn't see any comments on it. I guess when you have been out of the limelight for a long time, and you live a long time, it isn't going to attract much attention when you die.

I'm not sure if I ever saw him play. He was the face of the Raiders a long, long time ago. In my earliest memories of the Raiders, their quarterback was The Snake, and Fred Bilitnikoff (don't know if I spelled his name properly) was racing down the sidelines with his long blond hair waving out behind his helmet, getting ready to apply some stickem to an aired-out pass. Good times. But they talked about Lamonica a lot.

Anybody old enough to have watched Lamonica play?

Nice to hear of a big NFL star who lives out a good life to a ripe old age once in a while.
