Just saw this one. Bob from Sesame Street passed away yesterday. He was 90. He was still working on Sesame Street up until 6 years ago, but he did contribute to a documentary last year and a 50th anniversary back in 2019. The guy worked the same job from the time he was 37 till he was 87. He was let go from the regular show along with 2 other original cast members when they made the move from PBS to HBO.

Dude was devoted. RIP Bob.

I remember watching Cheers a bit growing up, but I only remembered the blond actress that played Ted Danson's love interest. My first exposure to Kirstie was in Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan I think. It's been awhile but it felt like they were pushing her as some kind of hot replacement for Spock. Wonder why that died on the vine? The only other thing I remember her doing was that Amish movie. Cancer is a bitch. RIP.

Kristie replaced Shelly Long. Kristie's character was the opposite of Shelly's. Shelly accepted Danson's romantic advances. Kristie would always rebuff him.

She was definitely seen as a bit stronger/tougher when she arrived.

Boxing referee Mills Lane passed away today at 85.

He was my favorite boxing ref ever. Always fair and knew how to control the fighters and the fight without interfering too much.

Shitty day! He will be missed around college football.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Unreal.
Such a good person - funny, smart, quirky
Totally seemed like he would have been the cool-uncle type of guy
Rip

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Damn. Leach was one of the more interesting characters in CFB. Very sorry to hear this.

 

[GowerND11]

No words really. One of my favorite coaches. RIP Coach.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Legend. He was such a quirky dude and made football fun even from afar. RIP.

 

[Henges24]

Gall man. People are hurting today. RIP Mike. One of a kind.

Leach did not play college football and got a JD from Pepperdine a school without a football program. Not the typical journey for a college football coach and definitely not the typical personality.
RIP Coach Leach

RIP Pirate!! He’ll be missed. Google/YouTube him and you’ll see some awesome interviews! He was one unique individual and an offensive innovator.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Damn, he will be missed. I could listen to him all day.

 

[calvegas04]

[zelezo vlk]

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord

RIP Coach Leach

His first head coaching job was with the Pori Bears.

A football team in Finland. Atypical and Mike Leach go hand in hand.

 

[Irish#1]

CFB needs more men like The Pirate. It's okay to have fun while coaching.

 

[ACamp1900]

Prob my fav modern Coach,… he was just fun/interesting…

 

[kzoondfi]

I am definitely going to miss hearing about his players' fat little girlfriends in his postgame conferences. He was a great personality.

The Big 12 plays the way they play thanks to Mike Leach.

It's crazy to see all these Mike Leach stories coming out of the woodwork. Just cool anecdotes of what the coach was like, he was every bit the eccentric lovable mad scientist he showed himself to be in interviews. I saw a story where he was in a car or something on a recruiting trip and he was talking with someone for over an hour. He got disconnected, then called the guy back and talked for another half an hour. When he got done the passenger he was in the car with asked "Who was that?" "Dunno, it was a wrong number." Crazy. There's the story of the fake playsheet when Oklahoma played Texas. He had a great model for an expanded Playoff before we even started doing a Playoff. His PAC-12 mascot fight ranking is legendary too.
