brad van pelt Remembering Brad Van Pelt

brad van pelt Just spoke with Harry Carson and George Martin about their memories of Brad Van Pelt, the Giants linebacker and five-time Pro Bowler who passed away on Tuesday at age 57. Very little of our conversations centered around football.

"Football is irrelevant," Martin told me. "We think in terms of friendship and the impact we had on each others’ life."

You can also browse through some Brad Van Pelt photographs -- like the one here -- on the Giants' website.

Carson said he spoke with Bill Parcells this morning.

"He said that when you start losing your constituants, it gets a little hairy," Carson said. "I agree."

Also, on a sad note, Martin said that this is the third loss he's suffered recently. A high school friend of his recently died from cancer and his younger sister died just last week at age 48.
