RIP Leon

Was it a Richard Pryor routine about Leon where there is a strong knock on the door...”Who is it?” “It’s Leon”. “What you want?” “A dollar ninety worth of cocaine.”

RIP Leon. You were game and you just kept coming after him.

man i used to watch a lot of boxing in the late 70's through the 80's. i suppose it was because PPV wasn't yet a thing and it was all easily accessible.

Mary Wilson gone

Unless you were both alive and culturally aware in the early 1960s, it would be difficult to guess just how influential the Supremes were.

I don't follow the NFL closely enough to understand how a guy in a Chargers' cap could have the eighth-most wins of all time.

"Longtime NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer died on Monday at age 77, his family announced. Schottenheimer, who had been battling Alzheimer's since 2014, spent 21 seasons in the NFL as a head coach: Five with the Browns, 10 with the Kansas City Chiefs, one with Washington and five with the San Diego Chargers.

In his 21 seasons, Schottenheimer made the playoffs 13 times, won eight division titles and also earned the 2004 AP NFL Coach of the Year after leading the Chargers to a 12-4 record following a 4-12 season. Schottenheimer finished with a head coaching record of 200-126-1, good enough for eighth-most all time. He is the only eligible coach with more than 200 NFL wins who is not in the Pro Football Hall of fame, and the only coach with more than 200 wins who has not won a Super Bowl or NFL Championship. Schottenheimer had a 5-13 record in the postseason including an 0-3 record in conference championship games. "

Old ball coaches, an actor, a singer
But no one mentions George Shultz

You just did.....

George Shultz: Dec 13, 1920 - Feb 06, 2021 (age 100)

George made 100, that feels very appropriate somehow. Now, when I whip out a hundred dollar bill to pay for my bottle of single malt scotch I will think, Thanks George.

Late arrivals thought The Supremes just did the China Beach theme song.

I took a shower once with Shultz... probably around 1990 when only sailors and jailbirds got tats. I was a guest of friend at a tony AC in DC. I didn’t know who he was but kidded him about the large lion tattoo on his glute. Later learned it was a Princeton lion from his days as an athlete there.

You don't find it necessary to specify why you showered with him?

Schultz was OK. He was an Establishment figure during an age when there still was an Establishment.

He did. They were in a communal shower at an athletic club.

Ah, thanks. That sentence didn't make sense to me.

we don't kink-shame in The Lounge

It looks like Aunt Jemima is back from the dead, but in very small print now below a different name. lol

Fine writer with good NFL stuff.

No cause reported as far as I can tell.

I remember way back in a CSPAN interview he said he would catch his kids sneaking a look when he was in the shower in their game of ‘Spot the Tiger’.

WWII Marine, prof at Princeton and MIT. All sorts of govt service.

Larry...great 1st amendment defender...victim of the 2nd.
A great many years ago, early on, he published a full page caricature of Jerry Falwell that caused a stir.
Damn Larry...now I got to crawl in the attic looking for my early copies...RIP

Can you imagine your uncle suing you because the porn you produced under his name was too tame?
