David McCallum - age 90 - on September 25, 2023.
Most all of you out there will remember him as "Ducky" Mallard on NCIS, but to me he will forever be my first pre-teen crush, Illya Kuryakin on the Man From UNCLE (all non-boomers will have to look it up).

Russ Francis--(former NE Patriot TE, killed in a plane crash) at 70 years old. Actually, Russ Francis died in a plane crash in a Cessna 177 that he was flying and his passenger was Richard McSpadden, former commander of the USAF Thunderbirds and most recent head of aviation safety programs at the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Assocation (AOPA). Francis was one of my very first favorite Patriot players and McSpadden was well known in the pilot community as a strong advocate for aviation safety. I always enjoyed his writings and podcasts. I was especially saddened at this loss of both of these men.

Holy Moly! If ever there were two "safe" pilots to fly with, these would be them! Does anyone know what happened? Very sad indeed.

Pretty amazing that one draft netted the Bears two absolute legends and HOFers.....Butkus and Gale Sayers. May they both rest in peace.

Sad day indeed. Obviously a controversial guy and not perfect, but did a lot of good in the world too.

a volatile coach who everyone loved until he quit winning championships and his coaching style went the way of the dinosaurs, then he was quickly expendable...

Craziest headline i saw on social media over the weekend was speculating that Dan Lanning of Oregon might be the guy who replaces him. Why would he leave a successful program at Oregon for that dumpster fire?

You are right - that is a crazy headline. Although the opportunity to be paid many millions of dollars NOT to work could be attractive to some. I think the only reason he'd move is if one of the true elites (not A&M) offered him a pot of gold, or if his family is just not comfortable in a climate that is as far from the South as you can get. (And I mean climate in every sense it can be taken.)

Why would he leave a successful program at Oregon for that dumpster fire? i can think of 73 million reasons i'd be willing to relocate for a new job... Lanning currently has a 6 year contract of $29.1 million...an extra $44,000,000 could go a long way to a comfortable retirement

I agree with rainman...Lanning would leave for a true SEC elite program, which a&m pretends to be, but isn't.
