Football coach and wine enthusiast. A real renaissance man.
I don't know this Steven Spurrier but may he RIP. I read an article about the contest between CA and French wines. It was a big deal back in the day.

The Steve Spurrier who is a famous wine merchant, died on March 9 this year.
He is NOT the football legend who was a Heisman winner as a player and coach in the pros and at Duke, Florida and South Carolina.
He is still alive.

When I worked moving the 49ers, he was on the team but do not recall seeing once.

From the post below I read it that the OP did think they were one and the same. I made the underline to highlight the point.

Several times? There’s not more than a handful of flicks I’ve seen more than twice.
I’ll give it a shot.

It was tongue and cheek. I knew the difference but assumed the uneducated lefties on here would not.
