for some reason, secret-agent & crime-fighting chicks like Emma Peel & Agent 99 & Cinnamon Carter were the definitive hotties of my school years. i was a Honey West kid myself, but i had friends who simply ached to be under Mrs Peel's heel. RIP milady.
That is a beautiful obituary.
Damn. Tbh, I'm always surprised he's still alive...kind of remember he had a bad bout of cancer a while back. Rip. Such an amazing distinctive voice... :(
A few weeks ago, I read he was hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms. Don't know if that was ever confirmed, though.
Quite the career arc to go from Emma Peel on The Avengers to her role on Game of Thrones.
The first sports unicorn i ever saw was Willie Mays, and i was transfixed. He just seemed to have a completely different set of skills & capacity than anyone else and celebrated them with great verve. Sayers was the next. It's kind of a shame i was already such a Jim Brown fan when i first saw Sayers that my kidliness hadnt room for another football idol, but to watch him live was a jaw-dropping experience. I'm sure being chased by a buncha white boys gave better contrast than today's fast-twitch types might have, but there were more than gifts at play. The real beauty part of watching #40 was that there was such a powerful sense that he knew what he was going to do next & next & next on the field. This was more than physicality. Magic. RIP -Gale Sayers

Sayers was a little before my time for any live action memories (I was born in '68). Watching Brian's Song was really my first exposure to Sayers. To this day when I hear his name, an image of Billy Dee Williams actually pops into my head first. Powerful movie.
I actually saw Piccolo play against the Rams. The guy was a bulldog (hard to tackle).
I had not heard that one, was a huge Road Warriors fan, always my favorite tag team. Only 60 years old, his last tweet was a few days ago to his wife for their anniversary. RIP
Scrolling down through that twitter feed, someone posted that his ERA in his 9 1968 losses was 2.14
Missed that news on Toots as well. That stings. Great tunes by them
oh, wow. didn't hear. my pitcher in the FFA sportsdraft. one game, baby - still. RIP -
There were some pictures of him from last year where his face was bloated, and there were references to doctor's visits and experimental treatments. It was apparently a resurgence of the cancer in his tongue/throat that he'd had 20 years ago.Damn - didn't know he was that sick.Eddie Van Halen rest in peace.
David Lee Roth gave a newspaper interview this past January and told the reporter that Eddie was "not doing well" at the time. EVH probably did as well as he could to hang on nine more months.
Dave also said something to the effect of "Van Halen is finished" and implied that he alone would be continuing the band's legacy.
fellow Secret Agent Man. set your decoder ring on "swoon"!
Very sad to hear of his passing. 
on repeat in my head the week he died.
