I really enjoyed it, especially that sniper scene 😂. Just remembered I had Colm in my taxi for about 30 seconds, he got off at his rental from a hotel party, threw his friend a $20 and f—ked off. I said “that man looks familiar”……his friend was in film from Vancouver we had a good chat about him. Was in town working on that period drama with the railroads, name escapes me Edited September 28, 2023 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lemondropkid Posted October 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2023 Hopefully the link below works. In addiiton to being a great player, Franny Lee went on to be a succesful business man and a horse race trainer racking up 181 winners. Not the best piece of writing from the Racing Post but still adds colour to a great man's life. https://www.racingpost.com/news/britain/tributes-paid-to-trainer-and-manchester-city-star-francis-lee-after-death-aged-79-aZpPX3b7RN1r/ R.I.P 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an older vdo with interviews from some of NFL's all time greats: Hall of Famer Dick Butkus will probably go down as the best linebacker in NFL history. Certainly the most feared. Those Bears defenses were outstanding back in those years. Along with Fencik and Plank (Cornerbacks) who would cut receivers in half. They were extremely brutal to anyone who had the ball that they could get their hands on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Talented knuckleballer Tim Wakefield died few days ago of brain cancer, only 57. Was really weird, Curt Schilling said he HAD to mention it on his podcast even though Tim wanted to keep their(his wife has cancer too) issues private, everyone is calling Curt a POS for violating his wishes, and Tim dies 2 days later anyway.......

Golfingboy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 In the late 80,s, Dad got me a year subscription to Sports Illustrated, swimsuit Issue included! also gave me an NFL VHS tape called Crunch Course, featuring all the NFL heavy hitters past & present. Mr Butkus featured prominently, funny thing he said he had no problem knocking players unconscious, but certain horror movies made him nervous, something about Bette Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's puzzling me is why she doesn't have health insurance. Equally puzzling is why the family is soliciting donations when several sites, if they're to be believed, pur her net worth at $8 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
