Matt Blair, star linebacker for Vikings, dies at 70

Matt Blair, one of the great linebackers in Minnesota Vikings history and a six-time Pro Bowler who played in two Super Bowls, has died. Blair, who had been suffering from dementia, died Thursday after an extended period in hospice care, according to the Star Tribune. “He’d been suffering for a while, so I guess maybe it’s a blessing in disguise,” former teammate Scott Studwell told the newspaper.
