If I’m gonna go work for
the Browns, then there’s no point in
washing all this sh!t off my face.”
Forrest Gregg –
O-lineman, NFL coach, concussion case.
October 18, 1933 – April 12, 2019.
Aged 85 years.
Most recognized for: Referred to as “the finest player I have ever coached” by Vince Lombardi, Mr. Gregg played a record setting 188 consecutive games in 16 seasons. Later, he called the shots for 4 NFL teams, and was the first head coach to take the Cincinnati Bungholes to a Super Bowl. An Iron Man to the end, he denounced links between his countless head injuries and his advanced Parkinson’s… which eventually shook the life out of him.
