Haha, good one.

I will have to steal this one for my upcoming valedictorian speech.

The crowd is going to love it.

I believe it's stolen from a quote said about Teddy Roosevelt

https://markloveshistory.com/2018/01/06/death-had-to-take-ro...

Except is was said by Vice President Thomas R. Marshall upon Theodore Roosevelt’s death and co-opted as a Chuck Norris joke.

Teddy Roosevelt was the Chuck Norris of his day. It is appropriate.

I think that comparison is quite unfair to Teddy, and overly flattering to Chuck Norris.

Historian, sheriff, war hero, governor, explorer, and a successful President who reshaped America largely for the better. While Roosevelt was human, he led a life that very few have ever matched.

That said, the line does fit them both.

Literally saved Football.

All due respect, no comparison, teddy is a real legend not just cinema. Lets not conflate the two. Much love to chuck though.

It's a kickass obituary, no matter the subject!

I agree!

It is funny because you usually think of Death as something inevitable and people just accept it but then ... some of these guys put up a fight. Mega-LMAO!
