Since the patsies in the Philadelphia Eagles' PR organization were able to cover the death of their former ticket office chief in less than 24 hours, but still have not recognized the passing of 7-year starting quarterback Norm Snead 4 days after his death, I'll do it here.
Norm Snead, the Eagles' starting quarterback from 1964 to 1970, passed away on January 14, 2024 at age 84.
Snead was acquired from the Washington Redskins before the 1964 season for Sonny Jurgensen, and started 81 of 98 games during his 7-year stay in Philadelphia. (He also played in 4 other games.)
He had 20 or more interceptions in 4 of his 7 seasons with the Eagles, leading the NFL in interceptions twice.
After the 1970 season, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings for offensive tackle Steve Smith and 3 draft choices.
He later played for the Giants (traded for Fran Tarkenton) and 49ers.
