Sad Day for Boston and NFL

[Dan Murfman]

Boston Globe Icon Will Mc Donough passed away at the age of 67 while watching Sport Center last night. I didn't always agree with him but I always read him. Growing up in Connecticut before ESPN and the internet The Boston Globe was my link to the sports and he was the best.

On one of the Boston TV stations they interviewed Bill Parcells. He was in tears. I heard Harry Sinden on sportsradio and he said, "it got to the point Will would call and say "this is what's wrong with your team"

There are some people you come across in life that, until they pass, you don't realize how influential or unique they are. Will McDonough was one of them.
