Former college football player, coach, and longtime panelist on ESPN College GameDay, Lee Corso, absent from his 3rd straight broadcast and 5th over all this season. “Still recuperating” from an undisclosed health issue.

Round two with Kundera.

I’ll join the Kundera crowd.

Word going around is Johnie Cooks has been in an ICU for several weeks with heart problems. Ten year NFL career, #2 overall pick in the 1982 NFL draft, won a Super Bowl while playing in New York. He could garner an obit for any pools that include American sources. Probably inconsequential. No link, unfortunately.

I’ll drink to that. Cheers!

Belafonte as a shot in the dark.

I’ll be damned. Figured it was just a hoax. I suppose someone was covering their ass in the retraction and/or response.

I agree with you, DI. He seems weak and his energy low. Coincidence may be key. From what’s out there it doesn’t sound like TMZ jumped the gun or information was poorly communicated. It seems like a prankster fed TMZ bogus information and perhaps in a dash to be first to report big news, TMZ bit (and it’s come back to bite them).

Important points, both. We never got to the bottom of if those “home from the hospital” pics just before the TMZ obit release were new/legit or not. I have not seen anything else from JLL social media. The statement issued by his representatives doesn’t offer the usual “read between the lines” statements like asking for privacy or resting comfortably, just shot down the TMZ report. Not a game of Telephone, just a hoax. Maybe he dies before I finish typing this post, but I’m suspicious this won’t be resolved imminently.

Jerry Lee Lewis’ sister posted again a few hours ago. She acknowledged the hoax though she is still asking you to included JLL in your prayers.

As someone who invested heavily in Pelé, these are the correct answers. I could not have said it better.

It’s a Hu’s Hu in this thread.

Basketball Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo undergoing treatment for a brain tumor… pencil him in your lists.

Former NFL player Tim Shaw, diagnosed with ALS in 2014 has a documentary series being released by his old team.

Saw a man in a shop wearing a Sun Records shirt, so Jerry Lee Lewis it is.

Judy Tenuta a hit for me here. Obit.

Multiple reports of HOF Quarterback Len Dawson entering hospice care.

One more roll on Pelé.

I suppose I’ll help round out the field. In.
