Harry Gamble RIIP: Hawking the Eagles

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under January 28:

Harry Gamble, 82, American football executive (Philadelphia Eagles) and head coach (Penn Quakers).^[\

This is an addition to the "Harry/heir/Hair/Hare.." pattern-cluster.  And note the "Eagles"-- an addition to the recently formed "Birds of prey/Hawks..." pattern-cluster (see previous post).  I get the sense of a "high stakes gamble"... everything to lose and everything to gain.  Note from his wiki page:

Harry Gamble (December 26, 1930 – January 28, 2014)

An addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from Christmas Day.
I recollect a tv series "The Gambler, note the following from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(TV_movie_series):

The Gambler is a series of American TV movies starring Kenny Rogers as Brady Hawkes, a fictional old-west gambler. 

So what are the chances of having other "Hawkes" to add to the  pattern-cluster?!

Note the following other etymology of Hawk:

hawk (v.3) 

"to clear one's throat," 1580s, imitative.

hawk (n.) 

c.1300, hauk, earlier havek (c.1200), from Old English hafoc (W. Saxon), heafuc (Mercian), heafoc, from Proto-Germanic*habukaz (cf. Old Norse haukr, Old Saxon habuc, Middle Dutch havik, Old High German habuh, German Habicht "hawk"), from a root meaning "to seize," from PIE *kap- "to grasp" (cf. Russian kobec "a kind of falcon;" see capable). Transferred sense of "militarist" attested from 1962.

hawk (v.1) 

"to sell in the open, peddle," late 15c., back-formation from hawker "itinerant vendor" (c.1400), from Middle Low Germanhöken "to peddle, carry on the back, squat," from Proto-Germanic *huk-. Related: Hawked; hawking. Despite the etymological connection with stooping under a burden on one's back, a hawker is technically distinguished from a peddler by use of a horse and cart or a van.
