Circling Buzzards: Bill Walsh Dies, Greg Takes the Lead

Bill Walsh Dies, Greg Takes the Lead

Former San Francisco 49er coaching great Bill Walsh died on Monday. He had been battling Leukemia.

Walsh led the 49ers to three Superbowl victories, two of them over the Bengals. Although he was credited as an offense genius, on his deathbed he wanted to be sure to thank Louis Breeden for the Superbowl XXIII victory.

His death gives Greg the lead in the Circling Buzzards. Would he trade another Death Pool victory for a Bengals Championship?

2 comments:

Greg (Rug) said...: Yes I would... and I blame Lewis Billups for the Super Bowl loss; 6:16 PM
Jim said...: BILLUPS! Not Breeden!; 10:13 PM
