His was notable because he was a buddy of the President's son or something; I saw his obit last night and looked him up.

Sorry to hear about Tommy's passing. By unfortunate coincidence, I've watched several of his career highlight films in the past week. It's ridiculous that he had to wait 30 years to be inducted into the HOF.

Tommy McDonald was a famous player of the 1960's. I remember a quote from Sonny Jurgensen, recalling complaints that he threw to often to McDonald when both were with the Eagles. Sonny said something like:

"They said I threw to much to Tommy McDonald. Who did they want me to throw to, the guards and tackles?"
