NFL Oldest Former Player Dies at 104
 

Now this is a story that should come from an oldtimer like me.

[url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d803c295e&template=without-video&confirm=true]Sam Dana, NFL's oldest former player, passes away at age 104[/url]

Seems the old guy had changed his name and another old guy with same last name had died so year back the NFL thought this guy was dead. His son told them he was alive.

Best quote of the old guy was something about they had watch his Bills win and he said "I love this game, even now. I wish I could still play." That's priceless man.

So I wonder who is the oldest now?

He was 104 and Sammy Baugh will be 94 I think in March 2008 so I wonder who's in between?

Rest in Peace Old Timer Heather Helmet Wearing Guy.

I love Dana's quote after the Bills beat the Raven's Oct. 21st "I love this game. I loved it then and I love it now. And I wish I could still play." at 104 WOW, what a statement!

I don't know who is the oldest living player, but I know Sammy Baugh is the oldest living member of the first class inducted into the HoF.
