OMG, can't believe so many of the comedians I grew up watching are checking out of this world. Saddens my heart. RIP Gallagher.

[Bill Robertson]

Wife #1 and I saw Gallagher twice. The second time we had front row seats and wore clear ponchos that were put on the seats of the first 5 or 6 rows. I thought he was a brilliant comedian with a completely unique act.

Franco Harris 1950-2022. Ironically his number was to be retired Sunday. He gave a radio interview yesterday on the Russo Show on XM, and seemed to be fine and not suffering from anything. Death strikes quickly , live life to its fullest.

he was a great man. i actually met him twice. But now that he is gone, can we all agree that the ball touched John Fuqua, and thus was a double touch, which was not allowed in the NFL at the time (that came before the 1973 season that they changed the rule to justify that call). And thus should have put Harris down where he caught the ball, and thus no TD and thus Raiders win....

But back to the real subject, a great man. and the football world lost a great ambassador

In Memory of Pelé who joined the New York Cosmos in 1975 and played his last official game in 1977. He'd won three World Cups, scored goals galore and become a global icon, but Pelé wasn't quite done yet, so off he went to the US and helped transform the sport of soccer in North America.

evidently, the brazilians liked pele so much that they froze him in carbonite...
