I vaguely remember her TV series "Julia," but I do remember that she was one of my first little boy crushes. Loved her.

A true eccentric. And one of the great drummers. And watching this clip, it is still amazing that these three guys could make so much sound!

Bill Macy, of Maude and various movies and sitcoms.
Also, learned he's the reason why William H. Macy is credited as William H. Macy (can't have the same name as anyone else in the SAG/AFTRA unions).

The raiders wouldn’t have been wearing whites at home.

This is still something I think is weird. I think home teams should wear white in all sports.
ETA: to be honest I think teams should wear whatever they want on any day but if we have to have a convention home whites works for me.

That’s funny. Years ago he was on Giants’ broadcasts here. He was horrible, and talked down to his audience.

As much as a death of someone that young can not be surprising, I'm not surprised. Drugs and alcohol can simply just destroy some people.

Raymond Poulidor, 2 x 2nd place Tour De France, 3x 3rd place Tour De France (what happens when you race consistently against Eddy Merckx. 189 career wins including the Vuelta, Dauphine Libere twice, and the Paris-Nice twice.
So famous was his repeated failure to clinch the Tour that the phrase “to do a Poulidor” passed into the French language, synonymous with coming an unlucky second. Despite his Tour de France disappointments, Poulidor is forever ranked among France’s cycling greats and at the same time is seen as a humble hard worker loved by the people who earned every one of his many triumphs.

So is cycling one of those rare sports where the older generations would probably be just as good as the current generations, if not better? Seems like given that their tech was worse, but they still had to ride up Alpe d'Huez or whatever else Category 1 climb on shittier roads that they may have had to be in better shape than today's riders.

It's an interesting question. The natural advancements over time in bike technology, gear, training, diet, doping, rest, research, etc. have certainly had an effect on the sport. Were the older generation doing more with less, and therefore better bikers?
