RIP to the legendary Frank Gifford

Frank Gifford died. People, young people just won't get it. He may have been the greatest two-way player in football history. He won the NFL MVP for the New York Giants in 1956 playing running back, wide receiver, and defensive back.

In 1960, he was clotheslined - knocked into orbit - by Chuck Bednarick in one of the greatest hits to date in NFL history. The dude was a GREAT broadcaster. I mean, great. He was honest, open, and compassionate; and he LOVED hanging with Dandy Don Meredith (one of the greatest Cowboys of all-time) on Monday Night Football.
