OT: A Sad Day

[Huskerpapa]

Bob Uecker was always just a bit outside...that is why I loved him, even if he was a Brewer.  RIP

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

My favorite from Major League.

You can't say god damn on the air.

 

Don't worry no one's listening anyway."

Uecker and David Lynch in the same day is rough for a guy who like Major League and Twin Peaks in equal measure

Calvin Jones, stud RB in the 90's passed away from probable carbon monoxide poisoning.

I was up all night in my 1 room apartment above Spaghetti Works before I went & set in a driving rain while Calvin Jones & Johnny Mitchell Beat Oklahoma, 1991.

My boss was an early 90’s FB, and noted today that 3 I-backs he blocked for have now passed with Jones.

Greg Sharpe. Rest in peace.

[Huskerpapa]

We knew it was coming; but it still doesn't prepare you.  I loved Greg's passion and presentation.   Prayers are extended to the family; and may Sharpie rest in peace.

According to Sean Callahan, the wedding is scheduled for next Saturday the 22nd.

If I remember correctly, most Husker fans were introduced to Greg Sharpe when he called a Husker basketball game for television.  It was one of those Phillips 66 Big XII broadcasts.  I think he was the radio guy for K-State at the time.  I remember being really impressed with his call, and wished we could bring him over to our side, because I didn’t like the guy we had calling Husker games at the time.  Rest in peace Greg.  You will be missed.

Thanks for the info. That is so sad, Greg fought so hard to see his daughter getting married this month.

Him, his wife, and their dog but no foul play screams something like carbon monoxide?

I think they are backing off of the no foul play scenario. I guess they found a door unlocked and prescription drugs in the bathroom on the vanity, which that doesn't mean anything, but the gas company said they're there weren't any any issues with the.
