bzane Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Joe Delaney, RB, Chiefs A great halfback who died as an even greater hero, giving up his own life to save children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Delaney Death and legacy[edit] Delaney had a lifelong history of helping others,[7] and once paid for the funeral of a former teacher whose family could not afford a proper service.[3] On June 29, 1983, Delaney, who was living in nearby Ruston,[15] went with friends to Critter's Creek, an amusement center at Chennault Park in Monroe, Louisiana. While reportedly discouraging swimming children from venturing too far out in a pond, Delaney dove in to save three children who were screaming for help, floundering in a water hole left by recent construction work.[3][7][14][15] The water hole, which covered two acres and was six feet deep,[3][16] was not intended for swimming but to add to the park's aesthetics.[3][17]Despite his inability to swim,[18] Delaney nevertheless tried to rescue the children.[6][19] One child managed to get out of the water without harm and another was taken to an emergency room where he later died; police recovered the body of Delaney and the remaining child.[3][7][17] The amusement park has since been closed to the public.[3][7][15] Delaney's name is commemorated at Arrowhead Stadium in the Kansas City Chiefs ring of honor.[5] Three thousand people attended Delaney's burial and memorial service on July 4 which was held in the sweltering heat of the Haughton High School gymnasium.[3][13][16] President Ronald Reagan honored Delaney with the Presidential Citizens Medal on July 15, and it was presented to Delaney's family by Vice President George H. W. Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Charles Haley. If he was in the game today, would he be labeled a head case; a disruptor? Would he still put together a hall-of-fame career, or explode under the pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Man, just for the Falcons: Peria Jerry (Knee injury as a rookie and was never the same) Michael Vick (Imagine if he put the time in to be a passer when he was in his prime in Atlanta.) Jimmy Williams (if he could have ever gotten his head out of his butt) Jerious Norwood (SOOOO FAST, but SOOO injured) Jamaal Anderson (if he could ever had figured out leverage) and Ra'Shede Hageman and Jalen Collins. (Such good athletes, but attitude and stupidity cause their cuts earlier this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
