Very Sad! I remember as a kid watching the TV as he came down the ladder.

RIP! Go with God!

Little known fact, he flubbed the line. It was supposed to be, "One small step for a man. One giant leap for mankid:"

He of course said; "One small step for man. One giant leap for Mankid!"

At a bleak time in the history of the United States, we had Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin!

He was the right man for The moment. A true hero and pioneer. He never tried to profit....amazing thing in these days.

Watched his first step. Incredible moment.

The 60's were such turbulent times. The world came together to watch that leap for mankind.

Saddened by his death.

Stephen Ambrose ('and Of Brothers' fame) met with Armstrong to write his life story. Unfrtuately, Ambrose died of Pancreatic Cancer before he had a chance to write it. He was on NPR maybe 10 years ago talking about it before his death. He said what an incredible man that Neil Armstrong was.

He could have cashed in on his fame, but never did. If this happened now with anyone else. There wold be a best selling book, a blockbuster movie, action figures, appearances on EVERY talk show! (Oprah would do a Prime-Time special.)

One thing that is over looked about Armstrong. He flew just about every jet there was. Even flew the X-15 space plane.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
