Jackie always reminded me of the Aardvark -

 

I thought it was always pretty well established that Byner was just straight doing an impersonation of Jackie in those cartoons (whilst also aping Dean Martin for the ant)

 

If it is, this is the first I'm reading it. lol

You should get yourself on Jeopardy, because that's been one of my favorite cartoons since I was a kid and I had never read that or heard it mentioned prior.

 

With my luck I’d get on on a night when the categories were all geography, chemistry, and literature.

 

With my luck I’d be on there when the were categories were 420, liquor and beer

one of if not the biggest “what could have been” careers in sports history

 

Bobby Bowden, who more than 400 games as a college football head coach, has died. He was 91.

Bowden’s official victory total of 377 puts him second all-time, behind Joe Paterno’s 409 career wins. (The NCAA doesn’t count 22 wins at South Georgia State College and 12 wins at Florida State were vacated due to the use of an ineligible player.)

Bowden first became a college head coach in 1956, spending three seasons at South Georgia State. He coached Samford for four years. After three years at Florida State as receivers coach and four at West Virginia as offensive coordinator, Bowden became the coach at WVU in 1970. He’d remain there through the 1975 season before returning to Tallahassee, where he led the program from 1976 through 2009.

In the final game of his career, Bowden lead Florida State to a win over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl.

“Today, we lost a legend,” Jaguars coach Urban Meyer said on Twitter. “Bobby was a great friend and mentor to me, and his impact transcended the coaching profession in so many ways.”

Via ESPN.com, Bowden announced in July that he has a terminal illness. His son, Terry, later told reporters that his father was suffering from pancreatic cancer.

We extend our condolences to Coach Bowden’s family, friends, and colleagues.

Markie Post, 70, cancer

Markie Post Dead: ‘The Fall Guy’ Actress Was 70 – The Hollywood Reporter

 

I probably still know most of the Fall Guy theme song from watching it as a kid and I watched Night Court damn near every night when I was in the 7th and 8th grade.

Markie was an easy one to crush on.

 

Same here. I didn't watch Fall Guy but I watched Night Court. It took me awhile to figure it out. The way they had her dressed and all. Didn't show off much. But then, take a second hard look? Holy crap! That chick was built! Still looked good the last time I saw a pic of her. Thank you Markie.
