Craig Morton, football player for the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys, died at the age of 83.

From the article:

...which marked the first of four straight Super Bowl defeats for Denver.

And, here I thought Bills fans from the 90s had it rough.

RIP Craig!

Gene Shalit is about all the old school of the critics left, and he's 100 now (wow). He retired in 2010 it looks, but sad to see the old school ones go.

Being investigated as an OD. Tragic no matter what you think of the league or racial issues.

I remember when I was more of a normie, I watched Dead Meat a lot. And the host of the channel James A. Janisse met Jonathan irl. He mentionned Jonathan had a certain sadness in his eyes and was a bit distant and melancholic. This was a few years ago. But it seems James was onto something.

I'd be "a bit distant and melancholic" too if I was in the same room as James "Ermm, 80s horror is problematic!" Jannisse.

Another former NBA player passed away today: Jason Collins, who was the first openly gay player in the league, passed today at 47 from a brain tumor.

Fun fact: his back up as a centre in high school was actor Jason Segal (yes, the guy from How I Met Your Mother and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.)

He was in my favorite shitty 2000s gross-out comedy Slackers.

I saw him in this and as the stoned guy in Can't Hardly Wait, back when he was a nobody.
