|  #1 Posted on 27.6.02 1741.27 | Instant Rating: 8.18 | The first recipient of the Heisman (rhymes with Theismann) Trophy passed away at the age of 88.
He also the first players drafted by the NFL, although he never played (due to the miserly nature of George Halas).
FYI: It was actually not the Heisman until the year after he won it. That year, 1935, it was called the Downtown Athletic Club Award.

Plus, if it someone that deserves memorializing (or in the Darryl Kile, when it is NEWS), it shouldn't be 'swept under the rug.'
Ed: And hey, it didn't post about Ann Landers or Dear Abby, whichever one of the sisters that passed away last week.
