RIP Thread... pile them up in here

Maybe the most electric player in league history. I still remember the thanksgiving day game against the Lions when OJ ran for 273 yards. The lions won by a blowout. How do you have a RB gain that many yards and get blown out?

 

Katlin Jenner just said, "Good riddance". THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.

 

Whitey Herzog, Baseball Hall of Fame manager, dies at 92

 

Dickey Betts, co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band, dead at 80

 

Roger Dicken, the Oscar-nominated British special effects artist, sculptor and model maker known for his work on Alien and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, has died. He was 84.

Dicken died Feb. 18 at his home in North Wales, Mick Cooper, a friend of more than five decades, told The Hollywood Reporter.

On his first film, Dicken was a member of the effects team for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968); later, he created and operated the dinosaur puppets seen in The Land That Time Forgot (1974).


For Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), Dicken constructed and controlled the terrifying chest-bursting creature that kills Executive Officer Kane (John Hurt) in the film’s most iconic scene.

“I got underneath the set with my activated hand-operated alien, and it was this, of course, that ended up appearing revoltingly through his body and pausing momentarily to twitch and breath, etc., before zipping off the table,” Dicken recalled in a 1992 interview.

“Two assistants, holding simple squeeze bubbles fixed to plastic tubes, made the small sacs in the body pulsate, etc. The monster’s exit was accomplished by pulling me along under the table, laying on a trolley with my arm holding the puppet, working it through a slot as it knocked off strategically placed utensils in the process of disappearing.”

 

Roman Gabriel dead at 83. I never knew what a prolific passer he truly was.

Post career was also of note as he was a noted force on the charity scene. He raised millions for various causes.

 

Longtime ESPN producer Howie Schwab dies

 

He wrote that song for this moment

 

I saw him play a couple of times on tv.

 

Terry Anderson, the globe-trotting Associated Press correspondent who became one of America’s longest-held hostages after he was snatched from a street in war-torn Lebanon in 1985 and held for nearly seven years, has died at 76.

 

Just looking back through this. How the hell did you guys miss Lou Gossett Jr? You should be embarrassed.

Colonel Chappy Sinclair. RIP.

 

Right in the middle of the previous page, bro. Jeanquev posted it.

 

Didn’t see it because I only read the top of the post.

 

The post had three people in it, so it was easy to not see all three if you didn’t know who the first person was you could skip over the other two after reading what you thought was just the lead in for the first person.

 

Terry Carter, Actor Best Known for Battlestar Galactica and McCloud, Dead at 95

 

Didn’t McCloud originally come on Sunday night in a mix of shows that rotated on that night like a movie? I was a kid in the early 70’s . They were an hour long and two came on one week and a different two came on the next week.

 

The NBC Sunday Mystery Movie. Hec Ramsey, Columbo, McMillan & Wife, and McCloud.

 

We used to watch those as a family back then. Now kids don’t want to watch TV with the family. They rather practice carjacking playing GTA
