It's a sad day when any of the "old guard" owners pass away. They were the ones who built the NFL into the league it is today, some of them putting their personal motives aside infavour of league well-being (the method of revenue sharing being a prime example). They weren't all saints (Art Modell, c'mon down) but they do generate revenues, and have competitive balance that other leagues(NHL & MLB respectively) can only dream of acheiving.
