Elroy Bert Coan, a former halfback in the AFL and the NFL passed away at 81.

Coan was drafted into the AFL by the Oakland Raiders in the 14th round and by the Washington Redskins of the NFL in the 7th round. He played college football at TCU and at the University of Kansas, Coan was a central figure in a dispute over the 1960 college football game between the University of Kansas Jayhawks and the University of Missouri Tigers, the second-longest-running rivalry in college football (known as the "Border War"). Coan played for Kansas - and helped the Jayhawks win the 1960 game by a score of 23-7 over Missouri, then-ranked #1. But later, the Big Eight declared Coan ineligible, due to a recruiting violation by Bud Adams while Coan was still at Texas Christian University and forfeited the game to Missouri—thus erasing Missouri's only loss on the field that year. After being drafted into professional football, he eventually saw playing time in 1962 with the San Diego Chargers and stayed with them for one season before finding a home in Kansas City with the Chiefs. He played in Kansas City for the next 6 years and played in the first Super Bowl game against the Green Bay Packers. During his 7-year career he played in 72 games and scored 15 touchdowns.

Shane Olivea, a former NFL tackle, passed away at the age of 40 from undisclosed causes.

Olivea was a three-year starter for Ohio State and earned All-Big-Ten honors twice during his collegiate career. He was drafted into the NFL in the 7th round of the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. Since being drafted in 2004, Olivea started 31 of 32 games in 2 seasons for the Chargers. In August 2006, The Chargers rewarded Olivea with a 6-year, $20 million extension. The deal made him the sixth highest-paid right tackle in the NFL at the time. Due to his performance and his low draft position, Olivea was considered to be a draft steal.

On February 28, 2008, Olivea was released by the Chargers due to a missed drug test following a previous failed drug test. Olivea tested positive for pain medication. He entered drug rehab and successfully beat his addiction to pain killers. He was subsequently signed by the Giants in 2008 but a back injury ended his career prematurely.

Al Autry, a former pitcher in MLB, passed away at the age of 70.

The following is text from Autry's online obituary: At Grace Davis High School, he was a star in both baseball and basketball. After graduating in 1969, he signed with the Kansas City Royals to play professional baseball. He spent 10 years in minor league baseball and still holds a record for being the only pitcher to be called up to the major league with the Atlanta Braves as starting pitcher, winning that game but never getting in another big-league game, giving him a 100% winning average. After that win, he was sold to the St. Louis Cardinals where he finished out his baseball career.

Autry's professional baseball career spanned from 1969-1978. But he never appeared in another MLB game after his debut in the majors on September 14th, 1976.
