Just gut wrenching news. Cancer needs to be stopped.
RIP Jim

I find it despicable that ESPN is leading with "Brett Favre Stays Retired" over the passing of Jim Johnson.
Prayers go out to his family.

I find it despicable that ESPN is leading with "Brett Favre Stays Retired" over the passing of Jim Johnson.

I get that but it's the same with most of the big sports websites. They seem to think the Brett Favre story is a bigger draw. Unfortunately, they're probably right.

As an Eagles fan, this hit me harder than a truck would hit a jay-walker.

Yes, sorta made a joke, but there is nothing funny about it

RIP Jim Johnson, one of the greatest football minds of all-time. 1943-2009

wow sad new to football, a great person, very wise and smart. He will be missed. Turned the Eagles D into one of the most fierce D's in the league. RIP J.J

Didn't see it coming so soon. Another sad day for the NFL. McNair and Jim Johnson in the same month.
