Loved that guy. A reporter would ask a really stupid question and Don would trash him. They called it getting "Rumified". He was way better at that than Trump ever was.

Hockey world mourns shocking death of Blue Jackets goalie Matiss Kivlenieks

RIP Matiss.....very sad..........I also find it spooky that he had art work on his goalie mask of Heath Ledger (The Joker)

 

Very sad. And yet let’s be honest…if he wasn’t a pro athlete, that story probably lands in the Dumbass of the Day thread…

 

Exactly how does being struck in the chest by an errant firework get you on dumbass of the day?

 

I mean I wouldn’t be sitting in a hot tub in proximity to someone shooting off fireworks, would you?

 

Though to be fair the true wearer of the DOTD crown in that scenario would be the wanna be JPP over there

 

I dont know how close he was clise enough to be hit I suppose but being the chest strike is what killed him just ste ding near would have done him in too. Ive stood pretty close to where they were setting them off.

Longtime NFL offensive line coach Alex Gibbs has died at the age of 80.

The Broncos announced Gibbs’ death on Monday. He had three different stints with the team, including a run from 1995 to 2003 that saw Denver win a pair of Super Bowls.

Gibbs played a major role in those wins by employing a zone blocking scheme that opened up running room for Terrell Davis. Injuries would stall Davis’ career, but the Broncos continued to find success on the ground with a variety of backs running behind Gibbs’ lines.

Gibbs coached in college for more than a decade before joining the Broncos in 1984. He left in 1988 to be part of Mike Shanahan’s Raiders staff and worked for the Chargers, Colts and Chiefs before reuniting with Shanahan in Denver. He worked for Atlanta and Houston and was set to work for the Seahawks in 2010 before retiring just before the season. He returned to the Broncos as a consultant in 2013.

Our condolences go out to Gibbs’ family and loved ones on their loss.
