| “I am sad to say that our mother has passed away,” John Mara, the team’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “She has been the leader of our family in every way, and we will miss her dearly. She slipped in front of her home during the ice storm two weeks ago. She had been in the hospital since the following day, initially due to a head injury she suffered in her fall. After a few days, we were hopeful for her recovery, although we knew it would be a long road back. Unfortunately, there were complications. She loved her family, and all of us were able to spend time with her in these final days. All 11 of her children and our spouses and numerous grandchildren were with her when she passed away.” | “I am sad to say that our mother has passed away,” John Mara, the team’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “She has been the leader of our family in every way, and we will miss her dearly.

| Favorite part of Mrs. Mara vs. Bradshaw is you can hear John in the background trying to stop his mom.
