I couldn't find much on ESPN's Reel Classics which Burt Reynolds hosted...not everything is negative about ESPN, it's really those who pop off are whom we hear about, I'm not defending them, I just won't totally shut them down.

Reel Classics had a sports movie classic about every Sunday night, Hoosiers of course, but more or less, all kinds of movies.

Here is a nice tribute.

Quote
Burt Reynolds will always be 'Buddy' at Florida State
David Whitley

A couple of old Florida State tailbacks had their monthly phone call recenty. Naturally, the conversation turned to football.

“He was excited about Willie Taggart,” Lee Corso said. “He thought he was going to do a good job, and he was going to try to get up there for a game or two this season. But his back was bothering him so much, he couldn’t get around.”

When Corso hung up the phone that day, he never thought it would be the last time he’d speak to Buddy Reynolds.

I always liked 'the Longest Yard', probably more movies than I can think of.  Eddie Albert was in that too. A lot of '70s/'80s movie classics, not too easy to find on tv acctually.

Bill Daily dies at 91



Daily's three most regular roles were as Roger Healey on I Dream of Jeannie, pilot Howard Borden on The Bob Newhart Show and a recurring panelist on the game show Match Game. His attempts at starring in a sitcom of his own were unsuccessful.

Daily was fun as Howard on the Bob Newhart Show.  I guess Newhart and Peter Bonerz (Jerry) are the only ones left from that show? 

Too bad that Daily never made it as star of his own show, but he was good as a "second banana."

Rest in peace, Mr. Daily and thanks for the laughs.

He lived to be 91,had 3 long-term marriages,one that ended with the death of his wife,2 children,and despite being in show biz,in all those years there was not even ONE whiff of scandal about him or anyone with anything bad to say about him.

Life just doesn't get any better than that,and rarely gets that good.

Good on you,Bill!

Sometimes the 'second banana' is the best thing about a show, and Daily was incredibly good at that.

The first Newhart show was filled with hilarious and memorable characters, and Howard was certainly one of them.

RIP, Bill.  You did make us laugh.

Dave Dave, whose father set him on fire in 1983, dies at 42

Quote


LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dave Dave, a respected Las Vegas artist who was badly scarred as a boy when his father tried to burn him to death in Southern California, has died. He was 42.

Dave, who was born David Rothenberg, died on July 15 at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said Wednesday.
...

Dave was 6 years old when his father, Charles Rothenberg, gave him a sleeping pill, doused his bed with kerosene and lit it in a Buena Park motel room near Disneyland during a bitter custody fight. The father fled.

The boy underwent numerous skin grafts and was left disfigured but refused to define himself as a victim....

Charles Rothenberg spent less than seven years of a 13-year sentence in prison for attempted murder.

And in MY NSHO,that sentence was a crime almost as serious as setting his son on fire. He should have been executed immediately after the sentence.

Marty Balin, co-founder of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, dies at 76



Balin, a tenor vocalist and rhythm guitarist who helped form Jefferson Airplane in 1965, was a member of the San Francisco-based rock group until 1970, when increasing disillusionment with the decline of the 1960s ethos (such as the death of Janis Joplin and the disastrous Altamont Free Concert, where Balin was trampled by Hells Angels) and increasing cocaine usage by people around him prompted him to walk away.

He was convinced to return to a reformed version of the group, Jefferson Starship, in 1974, for which he wrote and performed several hits, including the top-5 hit "Miracles." He left the group again in 1978 and embarked on a briefly successful solo career.

Balin occasionally reunited with his Jefferson Airplane/Starship bandmates for periods over the years until 2016, when a botched open-heart surgery left him without a thumb and part of his tongue. He died September 27.

I was wondering, "HTH does that happen?" but according to the Wikipedia link it wasn't the surgery itself that was the cause, but rather neglect and inadequate care (allegedly) in the hospital after the surgery, that was the cause.
