Celebrity Death Pool

I don't think I ever heard a bad word about Franco Harris.

He probably didn't have a twitter account where he was spewing some political nonsense non stop every day.

 

[HemiHauler]

I never gave it much thought, but they are only NOW retiring his jersey?

The Stillers are one of those teams who retire numbers very sparingly (much like the Redskins). The only two officially retired numbers are 70 (Ernie Stautner) and 75 Mean Joe Green. Others are "unofficially retired", meaning they don't use the number again, but without the pomp and circumstance of actually retiring it.

The Raiders and maybe a few other clubs do not retire any numbers at all, ever.

Hey look at you being all nice and civil in the forums. Not chasing people around calling them names.

You're trying hard to get off the naughty list, aren't you?

I thought the same thing a few days ago. Baby steps.

True, but I've also heard a lot of good things about him too.

Contrary to reports, Russell Crowe is NOT dead.

That is all.

Barbara Walters. An icon.

Barbara Walters. An icon.

I actually thought she passed on a few years ago.

I actually thought she passed on a few years ago.

If I’d been asked I would have said she passed sometime in the 90’s

And Pope Benedict apparently shuffled off his mortal coil.

And Pope Benedict apparently shuffled off his mortal coil.

I thought he might after seeing reports on his declining health earlier in the week.

Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) from Diamond and Silk passed away. Apparently she got covid in November. Not sure if that was the cause of her death.

[vraiblonde]

Oh no! Diamond!

 

[Bann]

Just heartbreaking news. I got to meet her and her sister (briefly) in 2016 when they came to Calvert County for a Trump fundraiser. I loved them before I saw them there, though. They were part of the early Trump Train people, like I was.

My favorite player.
Had front row for him and Stevie Ray at the Cap Center in 89.
Managed to see Beck a dozen or more times since then.
Never understood the Depp collaboration.
