I know from experience it is probably a relief.

worst natural way to die that isn't extremely rare outside of ALS and some painful cancers although they don't take as long usually

The absolute worst. My Paw Paw suffered from it for four years. If I ever show early signs of it I want my future wife to take me out back and shoot me.

He had some really good teams in Cleveland, KC, and San Diego.

His lack of playoff success hurt his reputation, but he also had some bad luck in several of those losses. John Elway and Tom Brady also played a big part.

7 years battling Alzheimer's, thats rough on a family. I hope they all can find some peace now that Marty has found his.

I can’t imagine having that for one day let alone 7 years... so sad and cruel....

A great coach. RIP...... I loved watching those 80’s Browns teams in at the old stadium dealing with all the elements to deal with....
