Man this sucks. He was part of my youth - Niners dynasty, Walsh on the sidelines, Madden and Summerall calling all those huge games on CBS - usually some combination of the Niners, Redskins, and Cowboys. Very sad.

Yeah, tough one. He was doing really poorly the last few months. He really fought it with everything he had.

I was a fan when he came to Stanford because I think most young kids think handing off is boring and Stanford actually threw the ball.

When he came to the Niners, I thought he was going to snag Guy Benjamin and they were going to lead them to the promised land [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Loved the press conferences early in the week when they were going to play some crap team like Tampa and Walsh would say, "Oh, they're very capable of causing us problems..." and the writers laugh at him.

And who can forget dressing up as a bellhop before SB XVI to keep the team loose?



RIP Bill.
