The bad guy in all those 70's TV shows and movies:

William Smith, dead at 88

Actor William Smith, known for playing bikers, cowboys and brawlers in a series of television shows and hit movies, has died. He was 88.

Smith's wife, Joanne Cervelli Smith, said the star of "Laredo" and "Rich Man, Poor Man" died Monday at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles. She declined to give the cause of death.

With his chiseled, mustachioed face and bulging biceps, Smith was a constant, rugged presence on screen in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, amassing nearly 300 credits.

Hail fellow, well met: Regis Philbin off to another gig at 88:

Regis Philbin, television personality, has died at 88

In a tribute posted to Instagram, Philbin's longtime co-host Kathie Lee Gifford said there were "no words to fully express the love I have for my precious friend, Regis."

"I smile knowing somewhere in Heaven, at this very moment, he's making someone laugh," she wrote. "It brings me great comfort knowing that he had a personal relationship with his Lord that brought him great peace.

"There has never been anyone like him," Gifford said. "And there never will be."

Those were arguably the glory years for UCLA football, winning seven bowl games in seven consecutive seasons. Now the only way UCLA will get to the Rose Bowl game is if they work the concession stands.

I guess it’s better than the other way perfected by that other school in LA.

Appropriate that you use Olympiad parlance in the RIP thread, I suppose.

Props for his career... he was 91:

Bobby Bowden

Nov. 8, 1929-August 8, 2021

Bobby Bowden, the folksy Hall of Fame coach who won 377 games and built Florida State into one of college football’s great dynasties with two national championships, has died. He was 91.

Bobby’s son, Terry, confirmed to The Associated Press that his father died at home in Tallahassee, Fla., surrounded by family early Sunday morning.

“It was truly peaceful,” Terry Bowden said in a text message to AP.

Bobby Bowden announced on July 21 he had a terminal illness that Terry Bowden later said was pancreatic cancer. Bobby Bowden had been treated for prostate cancer more than a decade ago.
