I just heard on the radio that Wellington Mara, co-owner of the NY Giants and son of the original owner of the team, died earlier today. He was 89 years old.

Yes, I got an email earlier from my Fordham Alumni group to pray for him, he was very ill. Then got another one that he had passed away.

May he rest in peace.
