Sir Creep

Stunning. 38 ugh. Big star at Michigan State Univ and unfortunately overdrafted by the dumbass Detroit Lions in the 1st round (3rd overall I think) and when he turned out to be a below average professional player (bad work ethic iirc, drugs prolly) his abilities never recovered and he washed out of the NFL never reaching his potential. Not an uncommon theme for players from Michigan State, frankly. Sad demise, I’ll assume drug related since they’re not saying. RIP SirC (upon re-read he was 2nd overall pick, thank you fucking Matt Millen who now outlives Mr Rogers).

The news came as a real punch in the gut to his survivors.

So which one is Spinney then?

W. George Allen, a hugely influential figure in Broward history and its black community, has died, his family confirmed Thursday. He was 83. In 1962, Allen became the first African-American to graduate from the University of Florida. U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings was Allen’s law partner and worked with him on lawsuits dealing with segregation and other civil rights matters. Legal partners dying days apart! SC

Stupid fucking thread.

Form Guide #10- Bill Gates, Sr. The father of America's richest man has been hiding under the radar here on DL, despite being 93 years young. Maybe he thinks his son will finance a cure for 'what ails him' before Advent Avalanche begins. Highly unlikely. With recent reports of Alzheimer's from none other than sonny boy, and a photo of pop's donning a condom hat (not exactly proving his sanity), we may be closer to the truth hoping Gates, Sr., reaches the starting gate. It's true what they say about family fortunes: 'You can't take it with you'.....but you can take Bill Gates' Sr. with you - on your way to AA 2019 glory.

It will be huge news everywhere my friend. Aye, 'tis sad indeed. But we shall see what transpires.

You knew as soon as someone said something the Reaper be like ‘hold my beer’

Oh damn I’m just seeing this. RIP

Columbia Sportswear “matriarch” Gert Boyle has died at age 95, the company announced Sunday. Born in Augsburg, Germany in 1924, Boyle’s fled Nazi Germany with her family at the age of 13. They landed in Portland, where her father Paul Lamfrom founded the company that would become Columbia Sportswear. Boyle’s husband, Neal Boyle, ran Columbia after her father died. But six years later, in 1970, Neal Boyle died from a sudden heart attack and Boyle found herself at the helm of a debt-ridden company making less than $800,000 in annual sales at the age of 47. Boyle kept Columbia and led it to become a leader in the outdoor footwear and apparel industry globally alongside her son and current CEO Tim Boyle. Last year, the company posted annual sales of nearly $3 billion, and its stock price has grown more than 1,100% since its 1998 IPO. She was the first woman ever inducted into the Sporting Goods Association Hall of Fame in 2003, and was also named to the Global Business Hall of Fame. SC
