In Memoriam

[CaptCleghorn]

That trial is responsible for OJs third murder- the TV show Gargoyles. Obviously a lesser loss than two actual human lives, the trial constantly preempting regular television spelled death to a show that required the audience staying engaged.

I maintain the increased attention on Robert Kardashian led to his family making their way in reality TV.

Robert MacNeil, urbane anchor who founded ‘PBS NewsHour,’ dies at 93

I thought he already died.

Had he passed away, say, 1992, I would have been very moved by the death of O.J. As a kid back in the '70s, Joe Willie and the Juice were my favorite football players. When I was playing football with the guys, I would emulate those two depending on what position I was playing. BTW, my favorite actor in The Towering Inferno was, yep, him, despite his limited thespian skills. IOW, he was a sports god to me.

Having said that, he didn't pass away in 1992 but in 2024, so I honestly don't care.

RIP Nicole and Ron

Exactly. Had he died in the very early 1990s, he would be remembered as one of the all-time great football players and a decent comedy actor. But, he was so obviously guilty based on overwhelming evidence that he is now only remembered as the murderer who got away with it and that eclipses everything else.

I thought he already died.

Maybe you're thinking of Jim Lehrer, who died in 2020? They were co-anchors for 20 years.

Dickey Betts has passed away at age 80.

I saw him a year or two before he got kicked out of the Allman Brothers Band years ago. Man, they were great.

RIP

A song written by Dickey Betts (Dec 12, 1943 - Apr 18, 2024). May the Ramblin' Man rest in peace at last.
