    Former Raiders Hall of Fame punter, Ray Guy has passed away at 72.

    I had a chance to interview him & asked him how such a multi talented kid from Georgia was missed by UGA?!

    He said he grew up hating UGA!

    RIP Ray Guy

    I thought he was a Seminole for some reason.

    EDIT: He played with Fred Bilernikoff at Oakland that’s why.

    Ray Guy, considered the greatest punter of all time, and Jerrel Wilson, perhaps the second greatest, both played for Southern Miss.

    The GOAT for punters. Damn - the Raiders had 2 players so great they had awards named after them. Wow

    Um, the John Matusak Award?

    For who can party the hardest between games and still produce at a high level?
