There was about an hour long whirlwind that happened today. First the Tuscaloosa Times reported that former Alabama and Raiders legendary quarterback Ken Stabler had passed away at the age of 69. This set off a firestorm of NFL folks memorializing the former Super Bowl winning quarterback and ten year Raiders great. Then suddenly the mourning came to a hault.
That's when Tuscaloosa Times retracted their report, saying it was not confirmed. Raiders officials also said they could not confirm the death of Stabler and were working hard to either confirm or deny the report.
