I remember Conrad in black sheep squadron and battle of the network stars. Believe he, Gabe Kaplan and Telly savalas were the 3 captains.

 

Robert Conrad throws down at 5:45. My memory had him losing worse than that. Smokers with short legs shouldn’t be challenging guys 10 years younger to anything longer than 10 meters (Conrad led  after 5, but 10 was a photo finish).

Great TV.

We lost 2 more Kennedy's.

The search for two members of the Kennedy family -- Maeve Kennedy McKean and her son, Gideon -- was suspended 26 hours after they were reported missing in the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, Maryland, the Coast Guard said Friday night.

Damn. 

Quote

The family was self-quarantining at Townsend's home on the Chesapeake Bay, when Gideon and Maeve were playing kickball and one of them kicked the ball into the water, according to David McKean. "They got into a canoe, intending simply to retrieve the ball, and somehow got pushed by wind or tide into the open bay," he wrote.

Add Tom Dempsey to the list.  Hell of a Kicker.

 

Incidentally, the Saints outside blocker on the record breaking kick was Bill Cody.  His son was/is the Sportcaster in Austin on the nightly news.  Bill is an old work associate and I always chided him that it sure looked like he leg whipped the Detroit rusher on the play.   CSB.

Mister Tiger

Superior defensive outfielder that hit for average and power. He was what you call a complete player.

Technically the 15th if you count the inaugural class of 5.  And yes, I only know that because I looked it up because your post made me curious.  Still crazy to me how many writers refused to vote for someone in their first year of eligibility because of tradition.

that one homer short of 400 has made Kaline an extremely underrated player.  when he retired after 1974 season the 3000 hit 400 HR club consisted of 3 guys - Mays, Aaron, Musial

I’ve watched many movies over the years and recognized the plot, only because I read the parody in MAD. Drucker did such amazing work, and never took the lazy way out, look at how much detail is in the wedding reception scene. Early 70’s MAD taught many of us how to be a skeptic and a smart ass, and I’ll forever be grateful.

They would reprint the old 50’s comic book style mags and include them in the 70’s magazines, so I got a great sample of that style, and I read some in the late 60’s, but the 70’s was when I think the rag really took off... and I was old enough to get most of the jokes. Whenever I would see later issues, I didn’t think they had the same quality. Drucker, Don Martin, Al Jaffe, Aragones = heyday IMO.

I’m in my late 50’s now (furk) but I believe the sensibilities learned from MAD and being a latch key kid, watching all those sitcom reruns, molded my mind into an ever adolescent universe that is capable of being an adult, but always aware of the bullshit and humor the world holds. And tits.

Were we separated at birth?
