A little bit of a shoutout to Homer Jones who passed away this afternoon at the age of 82. He was a family friend of my grandparents in the tiny town of Pittsburg, TX.

My grandparents took me to his house a few times when I was a child. I enjoyed looking at his old football mementos. I remember as a kid I was surprised that a former NFL player lived in such a tiny unextraordinary home. Not knowing at the time that players didn't make much money back in the 60s.

Also, as the below tweet mentions, he's credited with inventing the spike.

Three things that people from Pittsburg, TX take pride in are Pilgrim's Pride Chicken, Pittsburg Hot Links, and Homer Jones.

RIP

I ain't trying to be negative, but that behind the hip spike is a lot different from the traditional spike.

I don't get how that invented it.

Oh shit… ~cough~ I’m sorry. What were you saying again?
I find it hard to believe what he did counts as what we believe as the modern spike, asshole.

the body's not even cold, jerk!
Yeah, but why is it that the dude passes and now they make a big deal about it?

The guy was cool enough that he beat Bob Hayes in a race.

Only one player has applied so far, a WR from Purdue.
