Death thread? That’s harsh.

Death thread? That’s harsh.

Well, I thought it would be a thread to post when celebs, or famous people pass away. How about:

The Grim Reaper strikes; Official "Assumed room temperature" Thread?

 

[MonacoMike]

Madden deserves his own thread…

 

[JayhawkCurtis]

Madden deserves his own thread…

I would agree, he is a legend.

R.I.P. John Madden, one of those rare personalities that I never heard an ill word spoken of. Never been a huge football fan but I do remember enjoying watching him call the games I did catch.

I do not remember him as a player, but do remember him as coach of the Raiders. And of course his broadcasting career. He always did the Thanksgiving game and the turkey, never flew, always took his RV from game to game.

I forgot about that, "the turkey never flew". Lol I think even He would laugh about that one.

 

[Mauler34Rod]

My favorite thing about him was he always had good things to say about the players when he was announcing games.

RIP Mark Roth and Mo Pinel.

Mark was a hall of fame pro bowler that set several records. I got to know him a little around 2002 when he came to town and started running a bowling alley near me where I coached the youth league. Unfortunately it was when the internet was pretty new so I didn't get to appreciate what he meant to the sport until way later. Bowled with him a few times.

Mo was an engineering genius and designed and created new bowling ball technologies. Both died within the past few months. Never met him.

You mean we don't make it out of here alive?

Actually there’s a lot of truth there. Just like prostate cancer.
Not every man dies from it but every man dies with it.

You mean we don't make it out of here alive?

In that case…time for a bigger boat.

I forgot about the RV… that was cool

He was definitely Mister Football. Really odd how different people fear different things. You would think standing face to face with 11 guys that can whip a rhino that are just waiting for the signal to come rip you apart, would prepare you to pretty much be ready for most any challenge. The brain is a strange and powerful organ.
