Longtime Sports Illustrated NFL columnist known as Dr. Z dies at 86
That, and one of the first draft gurus at a time when there wasn't round-the-clock coverage of the NFL on multiple outlets.

I thought Dr Z passed away like 15 years ago

No, Sports Illustrated did.

He had a stroke that forced him to retire about 10 years ago.
RIP Dr. Z. Reading Z's stuff was always interesting. Agree with him or not, he had a lot of interesting things to say. Learning about his stroke and how his wife took care of him was heartbreaking. For someone like him who was so literate and obviously well-spoken, a massive stroke like his must have been soul-crushing.

Same here. Shocked to find that he was actually still living, I also thought he had died quite some time ago. Enjoyed his writing.
