He led Notre Dame to three national championships and won the Heisman Trophy. Later starred with the Chicago Bears.

Died at 98. Nice long life.

I know. I'm guessing she was somewhere between 55-57.

Two years after her massive hit, O'Connor made headlines once more with an infamous appearance on Saturday Night Live, during which she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II after performing an a cappella version of "War" by Bob Marley. She then told the audience to "Fight the real enemy."

The stunt sparked serious backlash toward O'Connor, though she has since said she has no regrets ("A lot of people say or think that tearing up the pope's photo derailed my career. That's not how I feel about it," she wrote in her 2021 book Rememberings. "I feel that having a number-one record derailed my career and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track").

 

kind of a weird perspective.

Oof. Looks like she never overcame her kid's death.

Need to finish that recent Showtime documentary on her.  I'm about 30 minutes into it so far.  She walked so they could run.

Mystery Men is seriously underrated.  Loved his role as Spleen.

Lest we never forget this classic Paul Reubens cameo in Cheech and Chong’s Nice Dreams from 1981.

The underrated To Live in Die in L.A. is my favorite crime movie of the 80s.  RIP William.

Oh, and thanks for Blue Chips and a particular scene that sums up my feelings towards this anemic team of "hitters."
