Dude was solid in everything he did and he was in some big movies like Alien and Brubaker. Did a bunch of TV, too. He was excellent in Homicide: Life on the Street.

That’s three great roles from my youth right there. He was outstanding any time he was on the screen. RIP.

I'm surprised both of those guys didn't die after the first round.    The most vicious in boxing history.

Seriously....as a kid especially, any time I saw him in the cast of anything, I knew at least he was gonna be badass.  

Saw this at the Erwin Center.  Incredible battle.  RIP Marvelous Marvin

To our younger posters, that will probably sound pretty bizarre. When fights were on closed circuit tv, that was basically your only option. There wasn’t really PPV yet. I watched the Hagler/Hearns fight and Tyson/Spinks at the Erwin Center.

Not even at that level. Sadly, it was Ice, Ice Baby. But it made my Ford Tempo seem pretty cool (to me, not anyone else).

Yep, this sucks. 

Segal was a really underrated actor. Mostly known for comedy, he had some great dramatic roles from time to time. King Rat is fantastic.

RIP Pops.

Jessica Walter, 80.

The fucking worst.

Saw Tyson / Spinks at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville...It was over so fast, some enterprising dudes sprinted for the payphones to try to place sucker "last-second" bets with idiots...There was much less of a concept of "in real time" outside of a live event in those days.

I think that was the fight on in a curtained off area of the flamingo casino in NOLA. Walked in with a buddy headed for he blackjack tables, heard the roar of the crowd as the fight started. Heard the groans of disappointment at the end before we’d even made it to the tables. Cracked us up.

Then we lost a bunch at the tables, decided to cut our losses and head towards the Quarter to look at boobs while the wives were shopping.

Anyone who didn’t know how that Tyson/Spinks was gonna end is an idiot.  For a few years there Tyson was the most terrifying force in the history of boxing.  Then Robin Givens came along.  Downhill from there.  Undefeated.  I am in zero way defending Tyson’s behavior towards women, I am only saying that once he became intertwined with them his status as baddest motherfucker on the face of the earth went south very quickly.

Larry McMurtry, a prolific novelist and screenwriter who demythologized the American West with his unromantic depictions of life on the 19th-century frontier and in contemporary small-town Texas, died on Thursday. He was 84.

The death was confirmed by Amanda Lundberg, a spokeswoman for the family. She did not specify a cause or say where he died.

Well, damn.  He was genuinely a Texas treasure.  And super accessible.  I remember walking into a seminar class at UT my freshman year, and there were some people from the class before still in there.  And I realized one of them was McMurtry, who had been there to lecture that small class.  I actually got star struck -- I had just read Lonesome Dove cover to cover in one sitting (11 hours, from sunset to sunup).  He was relaxed, soft-spoken, and flattered by my stammering praise.  And I loved his books.  Even his mediocre ones, many still told a story of Texas in certain times and locations, and spoke to my Texan heart.

I mean you don't think that it had something to do with firing his longtime trainer Kevin Rooney rather than beating up Robin Givens?

Don King got him twisted too.

Also Cus D'Amato kicked the bucket right around then too. 

Probably should've been hired at UK rather than Jerry Claiborne, who was a good coach as well.  

Anyone have DMX? Looks like he's slippin'.

Sounds like it’s been a ruff ryde

About 15 years ago, the Enterprise car rental at Sky Harbor tried to upsale me to the SUV that DMX rented every time he was in town. The kid couldn’t understand why that wasn’t a selling point for me.

And this exactly why we have to treasure every moment we have with Ja Rule.
