row_33 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 has there been any talk of CTE and concussion as well, they are starting to connect ALS to this, which is really sad but should be done if it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more absurd than sprinkling them in the ocean or from a the top of a mountain. OTOH, putting them next to Eddie D's horseshoe pits (about ten feet away, if you look at the video) might not have been the best decision either...

A body is kind of...permanent there. Hey man, if it is what he wanted, fine. Just...different. I'm getting old...I remember watching that TD live.

It's one thing to be buried at Candlestick (macabre, but still), but buried next to the goal post in Montana...did he want this? eddie d is beloved bt the fans and players. he was very good friends with all of them. so this isnt that crazy. a little maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a money thing or did they truly want this? I am not claiming anything nefarious, but I would just like to know. My questions in my post are not off the hook and not out of the ordinary. Eddie is a great guy. He loved his players. It is actually moving. However, how does this come about? Would you expect your mom to say, "Aristocrat, I'd like you father to be in Montana...next to a goal post...where we can not visit him that much.", should you guys live far away.

Clark lived not too far away from the Debartolos in Montana is what I recall seeing shortly after he died. Eddie D would be a frequent visitor and had a gathering of his teammates shortly before he passed on that ranch. Read this article and it is described how the Clarks are 15 minutes from Debartolos ranch. https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/05/03/dwight-clark-als-49ers-reunion-eddie-debartolo Edited July 10, 2018 by Guffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! That's what I was looking for, gentlemen. All good. Probably closer than any cemetery, too. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
