When last I lived there(2004), he operated a small BBQ rib joint on Arapahoe Road.
Winston Hill was an incredible football player. No way would Joe Willie have been successful without Hill.
I was at the Meadowlands last year when the Jets honored Hill at halftime. The Jets stunk big time (that was the second Miami game when they kept giving the ball away) but the halftime ceremony with old number 75 was great.
