Another death to report, with particular sadness to me.

Ernie Holmes, #63, the mohawk wearing defensive tackle who was an anchor on the Steel Curtain defense of the 1970s, was killed in a car accident in Texas at the age of 59. He was with the Steelers for two of their 4 Super Bowl wins of the 1970s.

Holmes played on the line with L.C. Greenwood, Joe Greene, and Dwight White to form perhaps the greatest front four in NFL history. He was an outstanding run stopper, and put great pressure on QBs.

He also battled emotional and mental health problems early in his life. He once opened fire on a police helicopter early in his career. After his retirement he seemed to settle down a bit even though he was briefly involved in pro wrestling. He also was an ordained minister.

I just heard about Holmes dying (on tv). Very sad....

(Nobody had him in the pool).

We had a 64 year old and now a 59 year old die today. When are all the 90+ year olds we picked gonna kick it?

If these people made it to their 90s, you got to think they don't engage in too many harmful or high risk activities or habits. Also, they're probably not going without a fight. But what's keeping Mitch Miller alive?

Ha ha!! I had to double check that as well. Yes, last I read he IS still alive.

As far as all these sports figures that may pass on, you guys would all be way ahead of me, because I know very few of them.

I was one of the millions of kids who got a hula-hoop in 1958. Just like the article said, though, the fad died out as quickly as it started.

If I even TRIED to use a hoop now I'd throw a disk or two out of whack and be hospitalized for a month. \:\/

Oh yea? Well I won 9th place in a hula hoop contest when I was about 8/9. \:D I use to be pretty good. Today that little movement it takes would probably throw my back out. \:p

Susan Clewner was the girl who lived in the apartment above me back in those days. She always wanted to play "house" and of course she'd be the mommy. But she was progressive for her time and she didn't want to be a stay-at-home mom... she wanted to be a HulaHoop champion mom who earned her living with the hoop.

I hafta admit, I was pretty good with the hoop back in the day.

What a popular toy that was. \:\) I was able to get it around my neck, and down to my knees and back around my waist again without touching it. ha ha ha!!! I wouldn't last two seconds today. Talk about an inexpensive toy. Remember the Hula Hoop Song???? My brother had it by Teresa Brewer. Btw she died very recently. I didn't have her on my list though.

I don't think they make a hula hoop big enough for me to use these days. \:\(

I was watching on VH1 the top 100 toys of all times. The hula hoop was #1. I don't think anyone on my block could get it around more than 5 times.

Another toy I could never do if my life depended on it was the yo-yo.

No wonder I had such a crappy childhood. \:\)

I loved the hula hoop. I was good at it back in the day. Today I would probably break a hip.

St. Louis Rams Owner Georgia Frontiere died. Did anyone have her or are we still batting 0?

I do not often speak ill of the dead, but this woman deserves to ot in hell. She was married 7 times, the sixth to Carroll Rosenbloom, then owner of the Baltimore Colts. She had two kids with him. Mr. Rosenbloom was an avid swimmer, yet he "drowned" in very calm seas behind his beachfron house in Florida. There have been rumors of fould play, but nothing was ever proven.

The first thing this woman did was screw hs children from other marriages out of their share of their inheritance, and because Mr. Rosenbloom had given her more than one half ownership in the then L.A. Rams for which he swapped the Colts for tax reasons, his "grieving widow" used it as a way to cut off the rest of his kids and get his money for herself. Instead of having a funeral she staed a "celebration of his life" in Beverly Hills a few weeks after his death. His own family did not get invited. IN attence were a large assortment of B List Hollywood types, and she was already carrying on with men.

Later she moved the team from L.A. and her next husband got himself indicted and jailed for tax evasion. Standing by her man as she always did, she divorced him.

May she rot in hell for all eternity.

I only know the name because years ago the radio station I listened to would make fun of her calling her Georgia "front & reary". I had assumed she was sports-related.

Anyway I hears yesterday she passed away and how many fans were mad because she sold her team.

How sad! Alice's secret squeeze!

He was a pretty popular character actor who had a big role on All In The Family and Archie Bunker's Place. He also provided the voices for a lot of cartoon shows such as Magilla Gorilla and The Flintstones.

R.I.P. Sam!



Don Cardi cool

I remember a epi. of Andy Griffith where Barney gave him a ticket and he told Barney that he if he ever seen him out without his uniform that he would hurt him. So Barney wears his uniform 24/7.

Didn't he play a cook in Gomer Pyle USMC?

Beth joins klydon as the only scorers so far. She was the only one of us who picked Suzanne Pleshette (who died yesterday).
