what a sad damn day.

Rest In Peace, Larry Allen.

I will always remember Michael Strahan's stories about defensive linemen developing "Allen-itis" during the week. They would watch film of what Allen did to opposing defensive linemen and then invent an injury so they didn't have to go up against him.

Number 73 was the best to ever do it.

I remember in one of our brutal seasons, he pulled out and a DB on the opposing team literally ducked

 

[Rayman70]

It's still early. I'm sure an explanation will come soon, after the family knows what happened.

very true.

 

[Streifenkarl]

My condolences. Great guy! Missed him the day the finished his career and he will be missed even more now.

RIP Larry!

Not sure how to process this. I'm so heartbroken. I love those 90s teams so much.

Man I hate this.

 

[Havic]

thats the $64,000 question. I have my hunches. Which I shall keep to myself.

Same lol

 

[plymkr]

Wow, I did not expect to see this. Prayers to his family.

 

[J_Allen]

We'll never see another Larry Allen. This hurts so much.

 

[HungryLion]

Damn. That sucks. Always heard about how good of a guy he was.

Legit one of the best football players to ever live. Rest in peace Larry.

 

[TNCowboy]

None of us is promised tomorrow.

RIP, LA.

 

[Bagman]

Terrible shame. Great man and great player. Really soft spoken guy. RIP to the greatest Guard to ever play the game

 

[stiletto]

and thats totally true too. Maybe in time we shall get the report on Cause with Larry. This one is a hard pill to swallow. Dude was a legend. Jimmy Johnson LOVED Allen. I can't imagine what hes dealing with right now.

None of us are getting out of this...but big men like LA, Reggie White, John Candy, etc are more susceptible to catastrophic cardiac events. It's just a fact. With that said, it can happen to anyone. Tomorrow is not a given for sure..

I just heard that LA passed away. What sad news to hear.
We can all talk about his accomplishments on the field, and there were many, but he really was a heck of a nice guy.
I know this much, heaven just got a beast at OL. It doesn't matter where on the OL he puts him because he'll dominate at all of them. John Madden will draft him to stop Reggie White.
If you can't tell already, he was one of my favorite Dallas Cowboys of all time.
RIP big fella, we all loved you.
