RIP NDirish1988.

There is no rest for 1988…. He will rest when we get 28 5 stars to commit.

Peace???? Only when we get 28 5 stars….

I think POW(piss off wanker) is more appropriate for 1988. Anyone want to start that thread?

He was quite a legend at the ‘Ville!

Denny Crum passed today. Coached Louisville basketball to a couple national championships.

Don't forget his 5 out of 5 natty's as Wooden's assistant. After '71 he leaves UCLA and Pete Trgovich who he recruited to UCLA and takes over the Ville and goes back to the Final Four with Jim Price and Trgovich's HS teammate, Junior Bridgeman (stuck on the freshman team in the last year where they didn't allow Frosh to play varsity) Bridgeman led them back to the Final Four in '75... which was Wooden's last championship... and that only happened because Scott May broke his arm while IU was undefeated. Larry Legend choosing to be a garbage man that season didn't help Bobby either.

The '83 Semi game tween Ville and Houston is still the greatest college game I've ever seen. It was like a Marvel movie on the superheros and special effects were real.

IIRC Crum liked to hold a rolled up game notes during a game. He was one of the best back then. RIP Denny.

Jim Brown, the legend

 

[Irishdrunk]

Bummer

 

[Bishop2b5]

Brown was just an absolute beast when he played. He's one of the few guys from back in the day who'd be just as dominant now.

Jim Brown, the legend

Started playing at 21 and retired early at 29. Put up 1500+ yards in his last season still. Probably could have played at least another 2-3 years minimum. He had 12,312 yards and still sits 11th all time, before they ever had a Super Bowl. Just another 3 years and he would have been behind only Emmett Smith and Walter Payton and those guys played 5-7 years longer.

 

[Irish#1]

Even though he quit early, still Considered by many to be the greatest RB ever. RIP Jim

 

[SeekNDestroy]

I’m not sure how many guys my age and younger realize just how dominant he was. He was 6’2” 235 at a time when quite a few linemen were around the same size.

Even though he quit early, still Considered by many to be the greatest player ever. RIP Jim

[FDNYIrish1]

Dominant on the football and lacrosse fields. Loved watching old video of him running. RIP Jim.

83 year old Tina Turner has passed away

 

[laughingirish90]

There's only one from the 70s to know:

 

[ACamp1900]

I love turner but I honestly think that’s one of the worst popular covers ever

I prefer the original CCR version for sure, but I like the Turner version alright. I think it's better when it's slow. It does feel a little busy in the 2nd half.

 

[Irish#1]

Ol Ike liked to use her as a punching bag. Was good to see her finally break his grip. Her popularity soared once that happened. RIP Tina

 

[T-Boone]

She was big in Australia as Rugby League got her to do a big promotional campaign for the sport here using the song "Simply The Best". She sung at grand finals and such. RIP.

Ray Stevenson, actor, passed away at age 58 a few days ago.

I was a history nerd as a young child. Somewhat alone in my interest as most of the boys my age weren't so fascinated in the depths of early civilizations and empires. Then Rome came along, and I didn't feel so alone anymore.

RIP Titus Pullo. Thirteen!

I read this as Ray Stevens for a second, comedy legend.

He was great in that and even fathered a child with Cleopatra. Just watched The Other Guys the other night and was happy to see him in it. Then the next day he passes. Sucks.
