Truffle Season, It Is Here
SFist Tonight
Gavin Newsom, according to SF Examiner, has officially proclaimed Saturday as Burl A. Toler Sr. Day in San Francisco.
Who is Burl A Toler Sr., you ask? Well, Toler was the "first black official" in the NFL and "a star player on the University of San Francisco’s famously undefeated 1951 team." (USF, according to the school's athletics site, no longer has a football team.)
Sadly, Toler died in August, so he won't have the chance to catch this Saturday's pigskin game between City College SF and Foothill College, which will be dedicated to his legacy.

I met him when I was a student at USF. He's was a class act. I didn't know he had passed. RIP Mr. Toler.
