I read somewhere that an NFL player's average life expectancy is 58 years. I read that some time ago, so the number may have changed what with all the advances that have been made in brain grafting and spine replacement and re-blooding and all. Still, that seems young. Almost Middle Ages young.

As for Tatum, he was the kind of player you loved to hate ... and I hated the crap out of him. It's not good form to speak ill of the departed though, so I'll say RIP and trust that, right about now, Archangel Michael is swinging him around by his hair in big circles.
