RIP...

Chuck Mangione passed away two days ago.

My first knowledge of him, like many Millennials was through King of the Hill. Imagine him and Ozzy making some kind of crazy collab right now.

Was just getting ready to post that. Grammy winner.

Never take a drug without long term trials

Yep, impossible to get good data at “warp speed”.

Ozzy and Hogan.

Both cultural sensations in the 80’s turned reality TV dummies in the 2000’s.

Celebrity rule of three…just sayin.

Bret Michaels? Flavor Flav? Who else fits the bill?

Can you really consider a jazz musician who played the flugelhorn a “celebrity”?

Seen a lot of stuff about Hogan circulating this weekend. I admit I was a fan as a kid, but as I got older and I found out about his backstage influence hurting younger talent I turned away. Then there was the scandal and really tarnished his legacy. In the late 90s/early 2000s he had real beef with Mick Foley, both guys didn't care for each other. They made up a few years ago, so it was interesting to see Mick talk about Hogan here. He makes some interesting comments but also references all the good Hogan did outside of the ring for Make-A-Wish kids. It's easy to forget people aren't the sum of a few mistakes and while those mistakes can still tarnish a legacy there are still good people at the end of the day.



Finally, this is classic, the kid has great promo skills!

Depends on the mistakes, if they are really bad looking racist mistakes they tend to tarnish a legacy.

Mick Foley seems like a real solid guy from everything I have seen of him outside the ring.

Hey, whoa! He's my Rochester NY peeps! My wife went from grammar school to HS with his 4th cousin

Oh, his legacy is absolutely tarnished by that mistake, no question about it. I don't think it means he was necessarily a bad person though. I say that as a former wrestling fan that laughed when HBK made Hogan look like a fool during their Summerslam feud, I couldn't stand the guy by that period in time. Saw a lot of videos over the weekend from people in and out of the business, it's interesting to see the good he did when the cameras were off that you never heard about.

Mick is a stand up dude, always been a humanitarian, and has written some award winning children's books along with some best selling autobiographies I believe.

He had name recognition, so yes.

 

[NDRock]

Ryne Sandberg, HOF 2nd baseman and my favorite player as a kid, has passed. Brutal. RIP Ryno.

His guitar player, Grant Geissman, was fantastic.

Oh man, he was one of my favs growing up as well.

 

[ACamp1900]

He was the signature in my glove growing up,… still have that glove in a closet somewhere

 

[OKCDomer23]

RIP to Ryno. Condolences to all friends and family. I've been a lifelong Cubs fan watching the Sandberg, Grace, Dawson, Dunston era since I was a kid. Ryno was a great player and a class act. A true professional in every sense.

I’m old enough where my childhood hero’s are going. Yikes.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Mid 80’s to late 90’s if you asked me the number of my favorite athlete in any sport….. my answer was always 23 and it had nothing to with another athlete from Chicago.

There was only one poster of an athlete on my wall.

RIP Ryno

This one hits different growing up watching the cubbies on wgn. Always was a huge fan of his. Switched to playing second base because of him. RIP Ryno

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Probably one of the synonymous names w/ WGN when we were growing up. No matter where you lived, if you had cable TV; WGN & WTBS were always a click away. Nothing like coming home from school and watching a day game in Wrigley on WGN & catching Dale Murphy & the Braves on TBS that evening. Rest easy Ryno. What a class act.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Dodgers just honored former 3B Ron Cey and Ryno was the one non-Dodgers player who honored him just ten days ago. They were teammates w/ the Cubs for a few years in the mid-80s

 

[NDohio]

RIP Ryne. One of the greats. That Ryno and Dunston double play combo for a couple of years was fire. Fun team.

Terrible tragedy. I only heard about it just now. I remember his AK days in college.
