I still think Tebow could have been successful in the pros being a QB that would come in for short yardage situations and inside the five…. He had a nose for the end zone…

I could be wrong, but I think they mean the message board, thedanzone…

https://apnews.com/article/loni-anderson-actor-died-obituary-3614dc44dbad987f74fc4cd64bd3e7fc LOS ANGELES (AP) — Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday. Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a “prolonged” illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” Anderson’s family said in a statement. “WKRP in Cincinnati” aired from 1978 to 1982 and was set in a flagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Gary Sandy, Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner and Jan Smithers, alongside Anderson as the sexy and smart Jennifer Marlowe. As the station’s receptionist, the blonde and high-heeled Jennifer used her sex appeal to deflect unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others’ incompetence. The role earned Anderson two Emmy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1983 comedy “Stroker Ace” and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before their messy breakup in 1994. Their son, Quinton Reynolds, was “the best decision that we ever made in our entire relationship,” she said during the unveiling of a bronze bust at Reynolds’ Hollywood grave site in 2021. “I think back to the beginning of our relationship, it was so, oh, gosh, tabloidy. We were just a spectacle all the time. And it was hard to have a relationship in that atmosphere. And somehow, we did it through many ups and downs,” Anderson told The Associated Press. Anderson detailed their tumultuous marriage in the 1995 autobiography, “My Life in High Heels,” which she said was about “the growth of a woman, a woman who survives.” “I think if you’re going to write about yourself, you have to do it warts and all,” Anderson told the AP while promoting the book. “You may not even tell the nicest things about yourself, because you’re telling the truth.” She married four times, most recently to Bob Flick in 2008. Anderson was born Aug. 5, 1945, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her father was an environmental chemist, and her mother was a model. Her first role as an actress was a small part in the 1966 film “Nevada Smith,” starring Steve McQueen. Most of her career was spent on the small screen with early guest parts in the 1970s on “S.W.A.T.” and “Police Woman.” After “WKRP,” Anderson starred in the short-lived comedy series “Easy Street” and appeared in made-for-TV movies including “A Letter to Three Wives” and “White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd.” In 2023 she co-starred in Lifetime’s “Ladies Of The 80s: A Divas Christmas” with Linda Gray, Donna Mills, Morgan Fairchild and Nicollette Sheridan. “I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of the wonderful Loni Anderson!” Fairchild wrote on X. “The sweetest, most gracious lady! I’m just devastated to hear this.” Anderson is survived by Flick, her daughter Deidra and son-in law Charlie Hoffman, son Quinton Anderson Reynolds, grandchildren McKenzie and Megan Hoffman, stepson Adam Flick and wife Helene, and step-grandchildren Felix and Maximilian. A private family service is planned at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Kagan said.

https://deadline.com/2025/08/dave-ketchum-dead-get-smart-agent-13-garry-marshall-favorite-1236495687/ Dave Ketchum, who played the exasperated, always-hidden Agent 13 on the beloved 1960s comedy Get Smart and dozens of TV roles and had a busy writing career that included 1970s juggernauts Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, has died. He was 97. Our sister publication THR reported that his family said Ketchum died August 10, but they did not provide other details. Born on February 4, 1928, Ketchum tour with USO and had a local radio shows in California before getting his acting start in the early 1960s with guest roles on such TV series as The Jim Backus Show, Angel and The Real McCoys. He then landed a series-regular role on I’m Dickens — He’s Fenster, an ABC sitcom starring Marty Ingels and John Astin. The lasted one season in 1962-63. Around that time, Ketchum release a comedy album titled The Long Playing Tongue of Dave Ketchum. Despite arriving during the Golden Age of recorded comedy, it failed to chart. Ketchum continued to do TV guest stints before being cast to lead Camp Runamuck, playing senior counselor Spiffy in the NBC comedy that also aired a single season, in 1965-66. Then came his signature role. Ketchum joined NBC’s Get Smart for its second season in 1966, playing opposite Don Adams’ Maxwell Smart and soon becoming a fan favorite. He recurred as Agent 13, the usually griping and always put-upon operative who seemed to draw the short stick whenever it came to surveillance. His 13 would be concealed in ridiculously small and hilarious ways: He’d be stuck in a mailbox or, toilet or trash can or storage locker or cigarette vending machine — famously being spun around in a washing machine once. The gag was memorable — even if it was the second time we’d fallen for it this week. Driven by the popularity of the James Bond films, the CONTROL-vs.-KAOS sitcom also starred Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 and Edward Platt and the Chief. Along with one of TV’s greatest opening credits, a number of the show’s catchphrases would become pop-culture lore: “Missed it by that much,” “I think it’s only fair to warn you …,” “Sorry about that, Chief,” “I demand the Cone of Silence,” “… and loving it” — the list goes on. And Ketchum’s running bit fit right in with the kitchen-sink comedy of series creators Buck Henry and Mel Blanc. Ketchum’s Get Smart run was just that second season and an episode of the third, also writing one episode. He also appeared in character with Adams in a funny ad for series sponsor Pepsodent. resurrected Agent 13 for the 1989 TV movie Get Smart, Again! and for the 1995 Fox reboot of Get Smart, which ran for about four months in 1995. After his original Agent 13 gig, Ketchum landed a job writing for Hey, Landlord, a series co-created by Garry Marshall in which Ketchum also had small on-screen roles. That led to a long working relationship with Marshall that including writing for and/or acting in a number of his comedy projects including 1970s megahits Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, along with The Odd Couple, Mork & Mindy and the 1982 feature Young Doctors in Love. Ketchum also wrote for such popular TV series as M*A*S*H, Wonder Woman, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, The Love Boat, MacGyver, Perfect Strangers, T.J. Hooker, Too Close for Comfort, Highway to Heaven, Full House, Love – American Style and many others. All the while, Ketchum continued to land guest TV shots. He appeared on a number of hit series including The Carol Burnett Show, The Andy Griffith Show/Mayberry R.F.D., Petticoat Junction, Mod Squad, That Girl, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Alice and Perfect Strangers. He also was in five episodes of Happy Days, playing three different characters. Ketchum also had a number of big-screen roles, appearing in Bless the Beasts & Children (1971), Love at First Bite (1979), The Main Event (1979) and The Other Sister (1999), among others. Per THR, Ketchum’s survivors his wife of 68 years, Louise; their daughters Nicole and Wendy; three grandchildren and a great-grandson.

https://www.tmz.com/2025/08/21/brent-hinds-dead-mastodon-guitarist/ Brent Hinds -- the legendary guitarist who helped put Mastodon on the map -- has died after a motorcycle crash in Atlanta, according to reports. The band confirmed the news Thursday on Instagram, saying they are in a "state of unfathomable sadness and grief." They added ... "We are heartbroken, shocked, and still trying to process the loss of this creative force. Our hearts are with Brent's family, friends, and fans, and we ask for privacy during this difficult time." The news comes just months after drama between Brent and the group. Back in March, the band announced they had "mutually decided to part ways" ... but earlier this month, Brent claimed he was actually kicked out. The rocker was best known for his time with the metal band, which he co-founded in 2000 with Troy Sanders, Bill Kelliher and Brann Dailor. Over the years, Mastodon dropped 8 albums and even snagged a Grammy in 2018 for their track "Sultan’s Curse." Brent was 51. RIP
