March 16, 20214 yr 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.
March 16, 20214 yr Yaphet Kotto: Running Man Midnight Run James Bond Villian: Live And Let DieThat’s three great roles from my youth right there. He was outstanding any time he was on the screen. RIP.

March 17, 20214 yr I'd record the same song 3-4 times in a row, so I wouldn't have to rewind the tape when driving around town. Spandau Ballet really go to you huh?
March 17, 20214 yr Saw this at the Erwin Center. Incredible battle. RIP Marvelous MarvinTo 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.

March 24, 20214 yr 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.

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.
March 26, 20214 yr 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.
March 26, 20214 yr 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. http://Larry McMurtry, Novelist of the American West, Dies at 84 https://nyti.ms/3fufBGH
March 26, 20214 yr 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?

March 27, 20214 yr Probably should've been hired at UK rather than Jerry Claiborne, who was a good coach as well.
April 3, 20214 yr 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.
April 3, 20214 yr CNN is saying it was a heart attack, hes still hanging on but in grave condition https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56627823
