I had really hoped this was not about a football player.

Bob Trumpy is as dead as the USFL after it was killed by the-------------.

Trumpy was very popular in Cincinnati for many years, as a player and then a broadcaster. Civic-minded, a gentleman and he grew into becoming a good broadcaster, on radio and television. The original Bengals were cobbled together from cast-offs and high draft choices, but many of them--Trumpy included--played above expectations for years. His play for Paul Brown gained the coach's admiration, and Brown was a tough guy to please. His was a life well lived. RIP...

That is an odd hope with "Two-Time NFL Pro Bowler" right in the title

RIP to Bob who scored the Bengals first TD in 1968.

I'm with Zed. I was expecting Earl Anthony or Pete Weber.
