BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Ralph's daughter, Linda Bogden Wilson passed away today. She has been very ill, with cancer,and, it seems, Ralph, understandably has had his thoughts elsewhere. I thought about starting a thread about this, but with no link to provide, I figured it would devolve into snarky comments... Mr Wilson kept her impending death quiet from those in the organization. If thats true, thats horrible news. Thoughts and prayers to Wilson's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh gosh, that's horrible. Wasn't she the head o-line scout for the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I wouldn't make something like that up...but I appreciate the sentiment. I am sure you wouldn't and I don't mean to question your honesty. It's just that there are a lot of lies posted on this board and this is not something that should be joked about. Â Again, I apologize for questioning you. God Bless the Wilson Family.

BillnutinHouston Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I heard that the doc that took care of him noted his dementia and did not think he could make any legit decisions. Don't kill the messenger. This is just what I heard. Â Do you even know what you are saying? If you are going to write crap like this, and hope to not be known as a complete turd, then you have to provide a source, or immediately retract and apologize to Ralph. Â Let's just say that what you wrote is factually accurate. That would mean Ralph's doctor told his family what he "noted". Then that would also mean Ralph's family in turn passed this somewhat personal information over to others, who in turn passed it to your source. How likely is it that Ralph's family and close associates would trade in this kind of information? Not at all. Â I usually take stuff on this board with a big grain of salt, but I just find this particular show of ignorance highly offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well if you heard that from someone they are commiting a serious violation of Dr. Pt confidentially. More than likely you are full of it and just stirring the pot. Â No names, no HIPPA violations, just consider it a very reliable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. IIRC, Linda was the scout that pulled for the team to sign Phat Pat Williams as an UDFA, so she had a good football eye. Â My condolences to the Wilson family.

Fingon Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not to doubt you Buftex, but the media must have been alerted of this. I would think that they are holding off on reporting about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 She was the only female scout in the NFL. Â Okay, fair enough. I didn't know that. I didn't know if he was just trying to make a bad joke about our lack of OT's drafted. Unfortunately, I wouldn't put it past some people to so something like that. Â I apologize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 A parent outliving a child is very sad. No matter how old either are. But just to be safe I will wait for independent confirmation on this scoop. Â EDIT: I just did a web search and nothing about the passing of Linda Bogdan. I hope this is not another hoax.
