Born in Lansing, by the by.

he'll always be Lewis from Deliverance to me.

RIP.

First thing I thought of was John L. Smith.

Second thing was this:



Third thing was this:

Not sure he ever played a down. Suffered a knee injury his freshmen year, car accident later took his spleen or something like that. Was supposed to have to some RB talent, though.

Roc, I'm disappointed if this wasn't in your top 5 Bandit thoughts.

The opening of The Longest Yard is a masterpiece.

He was the coolest guy in the room for the entire 1970s

IIRC, Reynolds hated the Norm MacDonald Celebrity Jeopardy character. I think I now know why: When I heard Reynolds was my first thought was of Turd Ferguson, not any of his many cool characters.

He's dead to me.

I see nothing but are you taking about the dog from Johnny Quest?

The Cannonball Run flicks were entertaining.

He was banging this for a while: RIP Burt

Never "got" the Loni Anderson hype.

Same. However, I’ll bet she would’ve looked way better without the bottle blonde extra big hair.

You're probably right. Not gonna sit here and say she was ugly, but meh.

I was way more into Jan Smithers/Bailey Quarters. FYI, a quick google search shows that time has not been good to her. Yikes.

Yes. Weird the picture doesn't show up for you (or maybe anyone but me).

I think it was more a 'boob guy' crush thing with Loni. I am more of a butts and thigh guy.

Burt was busy in the 70s. Tagged Dinah Shore, Sally Field, Farrah Fawcett, Goldie Hawn among many others.
