Greg Landry, former quarterback with the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Colts and Chicago Bears in addition to the USFL, died on October 4th, at the age of 77:

It seems like Greg Landry played forever. I last remember seeing him perform in the 1984 USFL Championship Game for George Allen's Arizona Wranglers. Landry compiled an impressive 92.8 QB rating that season, throwing for over 3,500 yards and 26 TD passes. It's interesting to note that Landry was selected All-NFC in 1971 by both UPI and the Detroit News - ahead of Roger Staubach. From 1973-1975 his career went into decline. He turned things around in 1976 and earned Comeback Player of the Year honors. He put up some pretty decent numbers playing for a 5-11 Baltimore Colts squad in 1979. R.I.P. #11.

One of my faves growing up in Detroit. Still remember that 76-yard QB "sneak" vs Green Bay in 1970. So long ago. Jeezus. Rest In Peace, Greg.
