Rapper MoneySign Suede has been stabbed to death in a California prison. He was 22.
Dick Groat, one of just 13 players to play in both the NBA and MLB, died yesterday, age 92. He was an All-American hoops star at Duke, where his number was retired after he graduated. He played briefly for the Pistons before concentrating on baseball with the Pirates. He was NL MVP in 1960, the year Pittsburgh beat the Yanks in the World Series.
Famed New York socialite Patty Raynes was found dead in her Florida home. She was 70.
Oh, yes, I remember that now. If we just made sex work a a legit business, we wouldn’t have so many scandals! But then again, I wouldn’t want to miss the Trump brouhaha over Stormy Daniels. Besides, his wife had just given birth. Scumbag. Then again, Springer had just been married a year before his solicitation.
before today, I never really though about Dick Groat, other than his mention in Curb Your Enthusiasm “The Thong” episode (S2E5)… check it out if you never saw it…
He ain’t seen n-n-n-n-nuthin’yet.
St. Louis Cardinals long-time broadcaster (and former player) Mike Shannon leaves 37 points on base.
Actually, if my atheistic tendencies are correct, now, for the first time, he’s finally seen n-n-n-n-nuthin’.
Of course, I had him in my Themed pool for the past 3 years. Not this year, naturally.
And I believe that would be 17 points, not 37.
Covid related, too.
Michael J. Fox is NOT dead but he is making things interesting for future Death Pool games. He’s 61 but says he will not see 80.
So it’s probably too soon to choose him for, say, two or three years at least…but starting him in your 2030 pool? You could probably do worse. Thoughts?
Most of us won’t see 80. He’s doing okay in that regard.
Australian Masterchef judge and Chef, Jock Zonfrillo, has died, suddenly, aged 46. A new season of the show was about to begin today, but has been postponed.
Presumably he appears throughout, though I expect production of the complete series has not been concluded.
I don’t watch the show anymore, but it remains as popular as ever, and the current set of judges are well liked. This will be devastating for so many viewers.
Gordon Lightfoot dead at 84.
But the legend lives on from the Chippewa down.
324th trimester?
