Super Sky Point to John Hadl, who tossed 244 career touchdown passes while wearing a weird number for a quarterback and owning male pattern baldness harder than perhaps any other 20th century male

RIP Gaylord Perry ...who looked ancient even when I was a little kid (and I'm pretty old).

RIP Gaylord Perry. There's a timeless story about an interviewer asking Perry's 5-year-old daughter if her dad threw a spitball. Without missing a beat, she said "It's a hard slider."

Bob McGrath -- one of the original human stars on 'Sesame Street,' and a longtime staple on the show for years -- has died ... this according to his loved ones.
The actor's family shared the sad news Sunday, writing on his official Facebook page ... "Our father Bob McGrath, passed away today. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his family."
RIP. 90 years is a good run

read his autobiography me & my spitter in junior high. part of the rubber arm era, 320+ IP 5 out of 6 years, averaged 315 over a 9 year stretch. guys like him, Mickey Lolich & Wilbur Wood could go B2B CG on 2 days rest when the JUL/AUG doubleheaders piled up.
good guy AFAIK & quite a character.

A little ashamed of this now but about 30 years ago went to a Fleetwood Mac concert at Pine Knob Music Theatre outside Detroit. It is outdoor with a hill for seating, we were sitting in the pavilion about 3/4 of the way up. It was on an incline so the stage is lower than the seats. People were throwing frisbees around in the seats and my wife caught one, she says to me see it you can make the stage. I could throw a frisbee so I stood up and let it rip. It was a rope and being higher than the stage it sailed like a flying saucer. Christine played her organ facing forward toward the crowd and it was heading for a direct hit at her..right in the middle of the song she ducks and it goes over her head.
She never missed a beat. RIP

The Clean's Hamish Kilgour found dead in Christchurch
www.stuff.co.nz
Was lucky enough to see The Clean a couple times in Chicago. The second time I saw them was a small venue called Lincoln Hall. Hamish was just hangin out having some beers by the bar and thanked him for playing Chicago and talked about New Zealand a bit. Unfortunately his brother David was backstage and completely trashed. They played maybe 4 songs that night before David got pissed and left the stage. Not a great show, but a cool memory of the last time I got to see one of my favorite bands. RIP

We say this quote all the time...
After Rebecca & Sam break into Robin's office and find out he's a crook she whines, "Do you know what this means? This means...that I am to stupid to LIVE!"
She was a pretty good Vulcan Wrath of Khan too.

RIP TikTok star Noodle.
No bones day.
It's stupid, and TikTok is stupid, but this one hit my whole family. To the point that my ex called me specifically to tell me, and both kids texted me about it. Noodle was that 60 seconds of good fun that my whole family, even apart would share.
No Bones Day indeed.

Jim Stewart, Co-founder of R&B label Stax and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, died on Monday, longtime staff Stax songwriter David Porter confirmed on Monday. Stewart was 92.
“No way a poor kid from a housing project’s picture in Memphis would be on a bus rolling through Memphis if it were not for this man, the ST of the word Stax,” Porter wrote in a social media caption with a photo of the Stax Museum bus (the museum is located at the original location of Stax Records). “I love and acknowledge him and his memory. RIP my dear benefactor to American Soul music.”

I loved Celebrity Deathmatch back in the day.
Grant Wahl, a Princeton polysci major, got his start in sports journalism at age 21 for the Miami Herald. During his time in Miami, he lived in garage studio apt of one of the Herald writers - not surprising given the salary. He impressed everyone from day 1. His first column was about the 1996 Olympics and the secure village setup in Davie, post Munich.
>>Hal Habib was the Herald’s assistant sports editor and Olympics editor when a young Wahl, fresh from Princeton, approached his desk at the Herald’s fifth floor newsroom inside the old One Herald Plaza building on Biscayne Bay. Wahl told his editor he’d like to do a preview of the Olympic soccer tournament in Davie, Habib recalled in a Twitter thread. “Sure, kid. Knock yourself out,” Habib remembers thinking.
I was stunned at what came next. Grant had mapped out the entire tournament, breaking down every team, no matter how obscure. I knew we had somebody special in our midst and Grant was every bit of that and more. I thought I knew something about soccer until I met Grant. Nobody knew the game like him, but more than that, nobody could WRITE the game like him. Nobody. He was a master dissecting the sport as well as with words,”
Soccer writer Grant Wahl was a fixture on the world sports stage. He got his start in Miami

I didn’t know Grant, but I knew one of his brothers; we were editors of the school paper in college — I was one of the news editors and he was one of the sports editors. Because of that, I followed Grant’s career after he joined SI and was always impressed with his work. Very sad news.
