Larry Csonka was my favorite of that famous threesome backfield. Aside from his cool name, Csonka used to eat a big bowl of concrete for breakfast every morning; washed down with six giant bloody Mary’s.

Those Dolphin’s were the monsters of football.

My first favorite NFL team was the dolphins, during their Super bowl years. I remember watching the SB where they beat the Redskins for the perfect season.

A few years later, the WFL formed, and stole Csonka, Kiick, and Paul Warfield from the Dolphins, so I switched allegiances to the Buffalo Bills. No one in the WFL wanted any of their players.

Charles Webb, author of The Graduate (yep, the book that became the movie), husband of Fred (that should pique your interest), and anti-materialist supreme, died on June 16, 2020, in East Sussex, England at age 81.

Yeah, Mel just turned 94 the other day. Sporting them Black Lives Matter t-shirts.

I feel bad for Mel for losing his best friend...what a twosome.

98 years old! Amazing. Odd to be sad over someone reaching that age and then dying, but, man, was he a giant. While he didn't invent the sitcom, he sure perfected it.

I'm sad he won't see Trump go to prison. He was always lambasting him on Twitter lol.

There are few people who deserve the label, "legend," but Carl Reiner was one.

Reiner, Lucile Ball, Jackie Gleason, Sid Caesar....what a golden age of comedy that was.

The Lucie ball show was so good, when mainstream comedy was surrealist

The first thing I thought of was the off-screen presence of Alan Brady on the Dick Van Dyke Show. I remember him as the prototypical egocentric buffoon.

RIP Hugh. I guess it was fitting he died in 2020.

Another big one today: Ennio Morricone

The theme of Once Upon a Time In The West is second favourite piece of music ever, right behind Ode To Joy.

Thank Ennio, you moved a lot of people for many years, you're a great.

I first heard Moricone when I wanderd into a theater in SoCal in the 60s and saw Fistful of Dollars. Was he a musician or a sound effects guy? He was so inventive, unique and imaginative that it never occured to me to ask if he was good or not. He was in his own category, and he was there pretty much alone. Genius.

got into a Twitter spat with Charlie Daniels last year over stupid MAGA crap.

Still, RIP. Saw him in concert in Detroit in 1980.
