Joe Morgan, RIP.

Not a run for old baseball legends.

Who the hell are killing off all of these baseball players?

by **MiamiSpartan** 2020-10-12, 14:46

Jebus, what's that, 4 in the last couple of weeks. I thought the Grim Reaper's run on legendary college basketball coaches earlier this summer was bad, but he's really got it in for baseball legends.

My favorite Connery scene.

by **The Pantry** 2020-10-31, 18:00

Many great movies. Hard to pick a favorite but I lean toward Hunt for Red October.

He was cast in the 5th Indiana Jones movie, rumored to be due out in 2022. Kinda funny he played father to junior in The Last Crusade...Harrison Ford is 78.

by **GRR Spartan** 2020-10-31, 18:09

Connery was cool before it was the buzz as the original Bond. I liked him in The Untouchables and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Connery could dominate a scene with his laser stare with no lines.

by **DWags** 2020-10-31, 20:34

He was voted the sexiest man alive at 60. Jesus. I’m 59 in two weeks and picking my nose is a planned event. Guy was cool personified

He’s Sean fucking Connery, bitch. He’ll speak however he wants and you will embrace it with a smile.

lol, I assumed Howie Meeker had died like 30 years ago, because he seemed like he was 97 back then. Did enjoy him on the broadcasts though. RIP.

ps: Whoever wrote this picture caption "Hockey Night in Canada icon Howie Meeker and former NHL star Howie Meeker died at 97 on Sunday"

Could’ve sworn we had something about the death of John Prine, but the search engine gave me nothing.
Anyhoo, Jason Isbel, Amanda Shires and a couple
others have returned their lifetime cards to the Country Music Association. During the recognition of those who had died in the previous year, neither John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, nor Billie Jo Shaver were mentioned.
Sturgill Simpson posted a great comment about quitting the CMA:

Paul Horning 84. 1956 Heisman winner.

The only Heisman winner to be on a losing team when ND went 2-8 but Horning somehow won over the voters.

All time Packers great who was suspended for the 1963 season (along with the Lions Alex Karras) for associating with gamblers
