Geez.... LC Greenwood a few weeks ago and now Bum...We are losing some great legends of the sport..

My favorite quote of Bum's was always "You don't know a ladder has splinters until you slide down it"

RIP...

He was one of the reasons I became a huge Oilers fan and season ticket holder. RIP old feller......

Great coach . quote machine. Didn't wear the hat at the Astrodome because as he said " you don't wear a hat indoors is what Mama taught me." another beauty was from NFL films. " Mr. Official, do you realize that's 3 holding penalties on one team in a quarter and a half?" ref chuckles..."It ain't funny!" lol
