Whoa. He quarterbacked in the first NFL game I attended.

It was a titanic David Whitehurst vs. Jeff Komlo battle royale at County Stadium in '79, I'm sure you all remember it. :

 

Martin Mayhew scratches another name off his list of "seasoned, experienced veterans" he could bring in to "mentor" Daunte Culpepper.

: :

 

Guy sounds like he was a real winner.

 

Fret not. Bill Munson, Gary Danielson, Greg Landry, and, of course, Eric Hipple, are still on the list.

 

Man, I actually remember both Komlo and Eric Hipple. I feel old now.

 

Any possibility that he was dead before the car crash?

 

Where have you gone, Milt Plum, Lions Nation turns its lonely eyes to you. : :

 

George Plimpton is not. Andre Ware might be as might Milt Plum

 

Erik Kramer is deeply offended

 

Perhaps they could run the "Wildcat" with Mel Farr

 

Well, cross him off the list then.
