    RIP Gene.

    Gene was the only player to play in a Super Bowl in 3 different decades.

    This is a bit shocking....I wonder if the strife within the union played a role

    Wow, this is sad.

    I think he owned Lake Chabot Golf Course, or at least I saw him playing there quite a few times with some of the old Raiders players.

    He was a great player.

    As the head of the union, now is an inappropriate time to discuss my feelings on that.
