So Long, Wellington Mara
In the sports world, another "Giant" has also left us. Wellington Mara on of the oldest NFL owner passed away yesterday. He was 89 years-old. In the often contentious world of the NFL, Mara stood up as a beacon of old-school manners who thought it was more important to preserve the greatness of the sport than maximizing any team's profits at the expense of another. Mara was the first to suggest revenue sharing from television. Football will miss you!
