ATHENS, Ga. -- Bill Stanfill, who was voted the nations top college lineman at Georgia and starred on two Super Bowl-winning teams with the Miami Dolphins, has died. He was 69.He died Thursday night in Albany, the university said in a statement on behalf of the family. No cause of death was given, but Stanfill has had numerous health problems after retiring from the NFL.Stanfill was a fearsome defensive tackle at Georgia, earning All-America honors and capturing the Outland Trophy in 1968 as the nations best interior lineman. During his three-year college career, the Bulldogs went 25-7-1 and captured two Southeastern Conference titles.Bill was probably the greatest athlete as a lineman I ever coached, former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said. He could have been a great tight end as well. Against the triple option, he was the only player that could take the quarterback, the dive back, and the pitch man. Bill was a great person, great warrior, and a great Bulldog.Stanfill was a first-round pick of the Dolphins in 1969 and spent his entire eight-year NFL career in Miami. He earned Pro Bowl honors four times as a defensive end and was selected to The Associated Press All-Pro first team in 1972.With Stanfill leading the famed No-Name Defense during the 72 season, the Dolphins became the only team to win every game -- 17-0 -- on the way to capturing a Super Bowl title. While the teams impressive offense received far more publicity, the defense was the leagues best, also featuring linebacker Nick Buoniconti, tackle Manny Fernandez, and safeties Dick Anderson and Jake Scott.The Dolphins romped to a second straight championship the following year.Bill was an outstanding player and a key contributor to our Super Bowl championship teams, said Don Shula, his coach with the Dolphins. He was quick and he was strong, and it was almost impossible to block him. His constant pressure on the opposing quarterback helped make our great No-Name defense even better. I enjoyed coaching him, and I want to extend my condolences to his family on his passing.Former teammate Nat Moore, who is now Miamis senior vice president for alumni relations, said Stanfills gentle demeanor hid a ferocious competitive streak.With his intensity on the field and his wit in the locker room, he was a leader on a team that was composed of a host of unique personalities, Moore said. He will be missed by everyone who was fortunate to know him, his teammates, the Dolphins organization, and the teams many fans.Stanfills final two seasons were plagued by injuries, and he retired after the 1976 season. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998 with Dooley at his side.Three years later, Stanfill was featured in a Sports Illustrated article that detailed the myriad physical problems he endured after leaving football. He was forced to use a walker after hip-replacement surgery and still felt the effects of a near-fatal injury from a 1975 preseason game. He banged heads with a teammate and nearly severed his spinal cord.I cant tip my head back at all, said Stanfill, who had four vertebrae fused in his cervical spine. My neck is stiff as hell. The neurosurgeons have told me that if another disk goes, I will be totally disabled.But he never complained about the price he paid.Just wish Id made some of the money theyre making today, he told SI. It would make this a lot easier to live with.Stanfills funeral is scheduled for Monday at First Methodist Church in Albany, where he had lived since retiring and not far from his hometown of Cairo.His family asked that those attending the service wear red and black, Georgias colors. Kirk Gibson Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Corey Seager Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.ladodgersprostore.us/Clayton-Kershaw-dodgers-jersey/ . PAUL, Minn. Mike Piazza Jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Babe Herman Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. There were no double-bounce deliveries from Sri Lankas first ever chinaman bowler. Unlike the fictional Pradeep Mathew - he of that great Sri Lankan novel - Lakshan Sandakan didnt bowl the darter or a carrom-flick. As far as anyone can tell, there were no shady thugs watching on (save, of course, for those embedded in the nations eminent institutions). But until the real dark clouds claimed the skies over Pallekele, a wiry young bowler with cumulonimbus hair lit up Sri Lankas Test, and sent his team spiraling towards equilibrium - though not quite all the way.This is just like any other game, Rangana Herath had told him before the match. Just do what you usually do. What Sandakan usually does, it became clear, was attempt to kiss his way through the nerves. There were two smooches of the ball before his first delivery on Tuesday evening. Many more fluttering pecks followed, between deliveries. At other times, he kissed something in his shirt, and if he thought it could help him, might have planted kisses on the non-strikers cheek on his way into the crease. But, importantly, when the wrists got warm and the legs became steady, his deliveries ceased to merely kiss the pitch; they began to really bite.In his second over of the day, a googly ripped away from Adam Voges, who poked his bat in the other direction, and token appeals from behind the wicket were launched. Then, even when Voges divined the turns inclination, an inside edge was induced, though it didnt lob off the pad to be caught.The first Test wicket was a wrist-spin classic - ripping Mitchell Marshs body to the leg side, then breaking the ball just slightly the other way. The off stump lost its bail, and Australia their promising partnership - the best of the innings, with 60 runs between Marsh and Voges.Mitchell Marsh is a guy who can play the anchor role, Sandakan said after play. Its a big wicket. Dismissing him is special. I bowled a googly to the other batsman, Voges. When he got beaten I thought that I can take a wicket by mixing it up. I was able to fox Marsh and get his wicket.Soon, this 25-year-old fresher, who hadnt played for Sri Lanka A before this month, and had been express-delivered to the Test team from England, was the most menacing bowler in the opposition for several overs. The control was far from perfect, but his excitement had the Test twitching. Stock balls staarted to beat the inside edge, and googlies the outside.dddddddddddd Mitchell Starc edged one that turned away from him, and Steve OKeefe bunted a googly to short leg. On so many recent occasions, Sri Lanka have toiled against the opposition tail, but at Pallekele a strange new spinner helped close out the innings - though he will know that less generous pitches lie in wait in his future, as well as batsmen better-versed in the shapes his fingers make.For someone who, for now, relies on deception for his wickets, he was a little lighter on the trickery than a wrist spinner would usually be. He refused to appeal for lbws when he knew the batsman had hit it. Then, after play, when asked how many variations he has up his sleeve, he said he had four, when he could have said fourteen. Ive got the lissa, the leaper, the floater and baggage porter, he might have ventured. Left-arm wrist spinners are crickets tiniest subset. They seem to exist in a shrouded intersection between fact and fable. Why not ham it up a little, particularly if you have collected the best ever figures on debut, bettering Chuck Fleetwood-Smiths 4 for 64 in 1935?Sandakan has topped Sri Lankas first-class wicket-takers tally in two of the past three years, but the Test team has discovered him here almost by accident. He would not have been in the squad had Jeffrey Vandersay remained uninjured. He would not have played this match had Suranga Lakmals hamstring not packed up. Sri Lankas batting prospects are flimsy, and its fast bowlers almost as fragile as the egos of some administrators, but, in the spin stakes at least, Sri Lanka still have something resembling a production line. Vandersay awaits his Test turn, following a promising start in limited-overs cricket, and Tharindu Kaushal has been quietly refining his big offbreak in the months his doosra has hung suspended. Maybe it is on the wrists of these three spinners that the teams future will turn.Sri Lankas grip on this match remains tenuous. They are 80 behind, with nine second-innings wickets intact. They will hope to leave Australia with at least 150 to chase in the final innings, to give the bowler who has so far been a revelation even to his own team, a chance of springing another surprise.
