Ken Stabler 1945 - 2015, passed away yesterday. As a life long Raider fan this saddens me. It was my Grandfather that started me watching the Raiders and Ken "The Snake" Stabler was his favorite player. I drank a few too many "cold ones" today after learning of his death. Played "Sweet Home Alabama" until my GF threatened to leave me. The Snake will be missed!

A sad day for the nation.

Just old enough to see him play in his later years. I always thought he was a cool guy. Sad when I heard the news.

When I first read this, my thought was "oh no not Jake the Snake Roberts" then I read further. I used to watch more
wrestling than football back then so his name does not ring a bell with me. May he still RIP.

That's right, I remember he had that. But he fought it off for a number of years, didn't he??

Rog - I'm not sure when he was diagnosed with the cancer or if that was ever released. I do know the last six months was very tough on he and his family. I hate the saying: They, he or she is: "In a better place". In this case it is so!

Thanks Ken stabler for many hours of entertainment and making life a little easier to deal with.
