Update: Tuscaloosa News retracts post saying Kenny Stabler has died
The Tuscaloosa News retracted its earlier post saying that former Oakland Raiders quarterback Kenny Stabler had died. A post now appearing on the site says it was posted erroneously while the paper was trying to confirm an unsubstantiated rumor that Stabler had died.
I hope Kenny Stabler gets to read how much people love him. That would be the one positive side to the whole thing.
