    If there is still practice, would like to contribute to a flower display at St. Vincent's. Let the team know that Steelers Nation shows its condolences that there's more to life than just football. Anybody think that something like that would be set up at practice today?

      You never really know when it’s your time, huh?

      He was the one with super high praise for Dionte Johnson when we drafted him. Probably a large reason Johnson was even drafted?

      They cancelled practice today and rightfully so.

        sad

        will be interesting to see how the team adjusts given the young WR group

                If you have to go, going while doing what you love with those around you is probably the best way possible.

                Funny, I used to think 60's were 'old people'.... now it seems like it's a lot younger than it used to.

                Godspeed to Drake...

                  This is awful. Wonder what the cause was? 62 seems pretty young to me.

                    Real sad. My condolences. He will be sorely missed.

                            When AB retires from football because of the helmet thingy, maybe we could bring him back as a WR coach.
