Well, My "Notre Dame Cast" is Undefeated!

 
I broke my ankle a couple of weeks ago -- took a nasty fall off a ladder, broke both bones and dislocated it...
 
The good news is my surgeon was Dr. Jim Flynn '03 -- a Notre Dame alum who is a former student manager for the Fighting Irish football team.  He's great at his craft and in a few months I suspect I'll be back on my feet!
 
My wife Susan did the honors of painting IRISH on my cast -- this afternoon -- before the Boston College game!

Breaking: Paul Hornung Has Left for Heaven


The Notre Dame Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packer was 84 years-old.  The Louisville Sports Commission announced Paul's death due to dementia.

Hornung is one of seven football players in history to be awarded the Heisman Trophy and the NFL MVP award.

He led the Fighting Irish to a 2-8 record his senior season (1956) -- and still won the Heisman Trophy.  Think about that.  A few months later the Green Bay Packers drafted him #1 overall.

Hornung is the only player in NFL history with 50 rushing TD's and 50 field goals!

Here's the ESPN story...
