RIP Tim.

Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Tim Scannell died Sept. 26 following a battle with brain cancer, according to his obituary. He was 62.

Scannell earned a starting job on the Fighting Irish offensive line as a freshman. As a senior, he was named a team captain and earned All-American honors.

After his playing career was over, Scannell worked as a grad assistant at Notre Dame under legendary coach Lou Holtz. He was on staff when the Fighting Irish won a national championship in 1988.

RIP. He had a very impressive, albeit random; professional career. GA under Holtz on the ‘88 team, secret service under Pres Bush, device rep for Stryker where he eventually climbed the ladder to president. Very impressive life.

Such a huge part of my childhood.

My middle school daughter watches the show sometimes too.

RIP Mr. B

He was the principal for all the 80s and 90s kids. My kids have seen a lot of episodes too.

That’s awful.

But what in the world high schooler doing out at that time.

Totally. Sure, a kid was murdered, and that's important and all, but the real story here is that a 17-year-old wasn't adhering to a reasonable bedtime.

He'd be alive if he wasn't out all night pinhead.

Thanks for your keen insight on why he was murdered. The authorities will be contacting you shortly for guidance.

Jim Bakker passed at 86. Another evangelist famous for the wrong reasons. Embezzled from his congregation. His wife Tammy got a lot of attention due to all of the makeup she wore.

Bakker rose to prominence in the 1970s as co-host of "The PTL Club," which he launched with Tammy Faye. The pair also founded Heritage USA, a Christian theme park in South Carolina.

Their empire collapsed in the late 1980s amid a sex and money scandal. Bakker was convicted of fraud and conspiracy after misusing ministry funds and selling "lifetime memberships" to a hotel that was never completed. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison, though he ultimately served about five years.

Q

He'd be alive if he wasn't out all night pinhead.

Ahhh the old victim shaming is alive and well.

You do realize it said he was FOUND at 3am, not shot at 3am. He could have been shot at 8pm for all we know.

When I was growing up, our Non-denominational neighbors had little kids and I remembered they listened to Tammy and Jim Bakker records. Apparently they got their start doing Christian puppet shows.

Just coming here to post about her. You’re right. North by Northwest is a must see.

Wasn’t my favorite GM but sounds like a legitimately good person. RIP

He was found @3am because police were responding to reports of a shooting at that time, near MLK Bvld in Muncie. The victim was not home, he was in his car.

They think he was set up. The other person in the vehicle as unharmed.

Ditka vs. God?

Trick question - Ditka is God!

Loved those old SNL skits!

RIP to a legend - although he wasn't God, hopefully he is now with Him.

R.I.P. Coach Ditka.

I'll always remember him standing on the sideline, chewing the hell out of that gum as he purveyed the field.

Requiescat in Pace

One can only hope Chris Farley and George Wendt were there to great him.

Forgot all about this. You can't help but smile.

I'm sure many here know, but Wendt was a huge ND fan despite basically failing out early in his academic career. Da Bears!

RIP, coach, one of the greatest all time.

 

[BeatSC]

A year of total domination. I feel that buddy Ryan was stealing his thunder. Guy was chicago thru and thru. He Butkus, Sayers and Payton are the great Bears. Sitka should have won at least two more super bowls but never had a better than average QB and that includes McMahon.

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

that's Tom Landry.
