Final Sunday.

This past Sunday my father Floyd Peters was taken off life support. As a warrior of the NFL for 39 years, my father always gave it his all. From his early days as a player coached by both Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi to his final Sunday Floyd Peters was a strong man.

My fathers passing represents an end to an era. Generations will grow up only knowing Vince Lombardi as a trophy and not a coach.
