When you're 5x all-defensive first team and 3x all-d 2nd team, and the most notable play of your career is a deflection of the other team's inbounds pass, and you were probably the best on your team at driving to the basket -- you're way more than a pure shooter.Originally Posted by Bonlainy
So John Singleton might be on death's door, and Jessie Ferguson is dead. Ferguson played the harassing cop from Boyz N The Hood -- to this day, it remains one of the most intense scenes I've seen on film:

What does Larry King say to the Reaper? Not today!

Aw, damn! We'll miss you, ya big furball!
Alot of these guys recently dying are born just a couple years after my dad, and that freaks me out. Because, he still looks great and is going backpacking across the world.

I honestly had no idea she was Rashida Jones' mother. Wow. I loved her on Mod Squad.

The pallbearers should all do the slow shuffle walk.
Tim Conway was a true comedic genius. I loved watching him on Carol Burnett all those years ago.
Oh damn, this one hits as hard as when Jonathan Winters died. Tim Conway was easily my favorite on The Carol Burnett Show, he cracked me up with everything he did.
Two of his best:

Sad for the sake of being sad, but I'm more concerned about what their financial future will look like.
I hope they did what liam lynch did, and cloned their cat.

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr has died at the age of 85.
Starr, who suffered a major stroke in 2014, played for the Packers from 1956-71 and led them to five championships.
That included the first two Super Bowls, in 1967 and 1968, when he was named the game's most valuable player.
"His true legacy will always be the respectful manner in which he treated every person he met, his humble demeanour, and his generous spirit," read a family statement.
"He battled with courage and determination to transcend the serious stroke he suffered, but his most recent illness was too much to overcome."
After retiring as a player, Starr coached the Packers from 1975-83 although they only reached the play-offs once during his tenure.
Starr last visited Lambeau Field in 2017 to take part in the festivities commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the Packers' 1967 championship.
