RIP, Mr. President
The morning news showed President Ford passed away. While Ford will never be remembered as a great president, Patrick Moynihan once described him as a decent man who inspired decency in others.

UPDATE: While everyone remembers Ford as a bit of a bumbler (mostly due to the early days of Chevy Chase on SNL) he was actually quite the athlete. He played center for Michigan and was on their team for two of their national championships in 1932 and '33. Click here for an MSNBC article. Interestingly, he also is apparently the only president to ever tackle a Heisman Trophy winner. Go Wolverines!
