Pat Summerall died...

...at age 82. Here's something about the NFL great that I didn't know:

He was born with a right leg twisted backward. A doctor, trying a novel procedure, fractured the leg, turned it around and then reset it when he was an infant. The doctor thought the child might always walk with a limp and doubted he could play sports.

Though his right leg was shorter than the left, he became a place-kicker...
