Growing up my dad was always my summer league coach. We threw the ball and I hit the ball for hours in our backyard and on the field. I had the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level but

DFW people will know this name. 

Quote

Bobbie Wygant, the longtime KXAS entertainment reporter who joined the TV station when it was created as WBAP-TV in 1948 and took part in celebrations of the station’s anniversary, died Sunday, KXAS reported. She was 97.

Wygant did “a little of everything” at KXAS, from hosting Dateline and live game shows to interviewing celebrities, the news station reported.

She was hired two weeks before the station, founded by Amon Carter as the first TV station in Texas, went on air and said in a book she published that she planned to stay in television until she was 98. She retired after 70 years with the station and continued freelancing for KXAS, returning regularly for major anniversaries.

She retired from porn and moved to Cleveland.   That would drive anyone to kill themselves.

Long time ago, I banged a Hooters waitress for a couple of months.  She moved to Cleveland then about a year later started doing porn.

Damn. I always had mixed emotions about Robert Reid. He played college ball in San Antonio, but his career with the Rockets made me really dislike him.

I know jack-&-shit about this sport, but guess that's the risk you run. 

Quote

Freestyle motocross athlete Jayden "Jayo" Archer, an X Games medalist and the first rider to perform a triple backflip in competition, died while practicing the trick Wednesday morning in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. He was 27.

A beloved member of the Australian motocross community and the Nitro Circus, the action sports media brand started by multisport star Travis Pastrana, Archer was known for pushing the progression of freestyle motocross at a time when there was little external reward for doing so.

"This really hit home," Pastrana told ESPN. "Jayo grew up in a time when action sports was at its biggest, and he always wanted to do the big stuff like the double and the triple, even though there weren't a lot of places to showcase those bigger tricks. He'd get up every morning at 4 a.m. and go to the gym before work so he could ride his dirt bike. When he came to Maryland to train, he stayed at my house and was an incredible role model to my kids. He was a great human first, a hard worker second and a bad motherf---er third."

One of only three riders ever to land the triple backflip on a dirt bike, Archer became the first rider to land the trick in competition in November 2022, when he landed it during Best Trick at Nitro World Games in Brisbane, Australia.

"I cannot describe this feeling," Archer said that day. "This is so much more than a trick to me. I've dedicated my entire life the last three years to this moment. There were a lot of obstacles and broken bones and knockouts, and I would do it 100 times over to relive that moment again."

After the interview, Archer took the microphone, knelt on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Beth King, who was standing nearby. The couple was engaged to be married this year.

This is a pretty rapid acceleration (my grandmother and aunt both had this) so I’d expect to see her entering the chat in a few months.

 

That poor dude.

She'd probably already been dead inside for quite some time.

How can that be? She's had literal gallons of the stuff of life blasted into for years. One could argue that she was more full of life than a vast majority of planet Earth.

WCW/WWF's Virgil

Quote

Michael Jones, who was best known as Ted DiBiase's bodyguard Virgil in WWF in the late 1980s and early 1990s, has died at age 61. News of Jones' death was initially shared by Mark Charles III, a wrestling referee and friend of Jones.

"My dear friends, it is with great sorrow that I bring news from the Jones family of the passing of our beloved Michael Jones, whom we know and loved as Virgil, Vincent, Soul Train Jones and more," Charles wrote on Facebook. "Virgil passed peacefully at the hospital this morning and I ask that you pray for him and for his family. May his memory be eternal!"

Wagon's East was a damn funny, and underrated, film.  Fight me!  

RIP, Richard.  

I never really dug his standup but he was brilliant on "Curb" in the perfect amount of screentime.  My daughter asked me why I got choked up when I heard the news earlier this week.  And I realized when my mother was in the hospital with cancer in 1989.  I would stay in the room, alternating with my older sister so one of us could be at home with our special needs sister.  And of course the hospital TV only got a handful of channels (no cable).  And we'd watch "Anything But Love" which was his big breakout show with Jamie Lee Curtis.  And then when mom got out, we'd watch it at home for the next year or two.  Wasn't a particularly hilarious show, but I remember watching it with mom and enjoyed his comedic awkwardness and paranoia.  And then years and years later, to watch him with Larry David.  And his most recent episode to be debating how much he's leaving in his Will as compared to Larry.  And we are crying...............

Yeah, I hadn't thought about it in 30+ years.  But mom was just here visiting two weeks ago, and she's getting up there in age.  And my cousins came over one day, they're like daughters to her, and we were all waxing nostalgic about old comedies.  And I remembered watching the early episodes of that show on the chair in the hospital room with her.  And then that Curb episode about the estate planning.  Sometimes you just see right into the core of the galaxy.  

Fun fact-there was a multi-episode arc where he like adopts/sponsors Tia Carrera (just before Wayne's World fame) as an Asian student in like a study abroad/grad school thing on "Anything But Love".  And then about 15-20 years later, she plays Lewis' girlfriend on Curb.
