dont care 6,854 Posted January 3 2 hours ago, MarkAtnip said: As he has been in hospice for a few weeks, my assumption would be that they were proactively working on something appropriate. Could be just me but having patches ready to go when someone finally kicks the bucket is in really bad taste. I would think they were hoping for the best. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkAtnip 8 Posted January 3 Having worked in media relations for multiple professional organizations, once hospice is entered, it is an indication that preparations, memorials, tributes, etc should be readied, as they could be needed at a few hours notice. The situation is, indeed terrible, however it's part of being a professional organization. At one point the owner for one of the teams for which I have worked passed away. It was not an unexpected passing, and the structure of the memorials and tributes, in-stadium reminders, etc, were already determined. I have no doubt there will be tributes tomorrow, however I was hoping that someone who is in the loop might have some insight as to the specifics. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were it not for Little, we would have been watching the Birmingham Broncos since 1968. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBTV 20,829 Posted January 3 Teams usually have video packages nearly ready to go for star players hat are clearly nearing the end. At least all rhe highlights saved somewhere with narration scripts in at least draft stage. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the sticker — it seems to confirm your thoughts on preparations once Little's family announced he entered hospice. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andycumbee19 483 Posted January 3 Nothing wrong with the sticker, but I wish they would've inverted the colors on the 44 to match the old white uniforms. https://images.app.goo.gl/y9SiP9k74iCCfVbCA 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Jeff George in ATL on the other hand... No one outside of the Bay cares, but don't forget about Chris Simms... Also, I think Tim Couch kinda sparked off the then-trend of QBs wearing 2 in the NFL; I'm pretty sure Doug Flutie was the last starter to do so before Couch was drafted. (Unrelated, but I really liked that Simms kid. Hate that he didn't pan out...) -1 spleen 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's especially bad on the Eagles. The 2 is just wonky. Make the kicker wear it. That looks infinitely better than the Eagles' 1. . . . which, in the "damning with faint praise" category, looks better alone than when paired with another digit 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
