Actor and one time contributor here Jim Beaver posted on his Facebook page that when he was a boy he sent George Kennedy a request for an autographed photo. Kennedy sent one back.

Aubrey McClendon dead in car accident. Thunder part owner Aubrey McClendon died Wednesday morning in a one-car crash, according to Oklahoma City police. There was “no indication McClendon tried to stop his car from wrecking,” police said, according to Graham Lee Brewer of The Oklahoman. McClendon, 56, was indicted Tuesday on conspiracy charges. He is alleged of conspiring to suppress oil and gas prices while serving as CEO of Chesapeake Energy, the company that owns the naming rights to the Thunder’s arena.
