Hate it when this happens

Apparently someone at the Tuscaloosa News screwed up. Kenny Stabler must not be doing well but apparently he's NOT dead yet.



UPDATE 5:19 PM CT: The Tuscaloosa News issued a statement following its report of the passing of former Alabama QB Kenny Stabler.

"Preparing to report on an unconfirmed but wide and persistent rumor that former Alabama football player Kenny Stabler had died, tuscaloosanews.com inadvertently and briefly published an incomplete story that we were preparing in the event that the story was confirmed. At this time, it is not confirmed. Unfortunately, other news outlets used social media to share the report. We regret the error and any emotional distress caused to Stabler’s family, friends and fans."

BamaOnLine will continue to monitor and update as the story develops.

That's odd, I just heard on the radio about 30 minutes ago that he had died at the age of 69.

He definitely died yesterday in Gulfport, Mississippi.
