It's a weekend afternoon in the 70s or 80s. You're bored. So you finally give up and watch bowling on ABC with Chris Schenkel. Good decision.

Joe Delaney passed away at age 24 while trying to save two young boys from drowning. Terrific running back, gone much too soon. As this NFL season gets underway, let’s take a minute to remember a man who gave away all of his tomorrows trying to help some strangers. #RIP
