Yeah, maybe that's why this is the first mention of him on this thread. (Sorry, concordtom, if it is a violation to bring up somebody who hasn't croaked yet... i remember reading your "The Obituary Thread; Some Guidelines" tome. Hard to keep track of it all... but I appreciate you!)

Hard to keep track of all these "B" celebrities and their current weights.

RIP Rick Derringer.

Aside from his own career, he was instrumental in making Weird Al Yankovic a star, having produced his first 6 albums, and we're all better off for that.

I think I saw him play this at a Day on the Green in 1974. He wasn't in the line up. I think Graham stuck him on stage for a one and done.

Yeah, I googled it before posting, so kidding. Never heard of Ed Gale, though.

BTW CT, next time -- and there will be a next time -- I would prefer you employ a different term for me than "moron". Dumb f***s like me tend to be thin-skinned... and we can't help what we were born with.

John A. Young - April, 1932 - May 25, 2025. First CEO of Hewlett Packard whose last name wasn't either Hewlett or Packard. Ran the company from 1978 - 1992, back when HP was a pretty cool place to work. He oversaw HP's change from an instrument company to a computer/printer company and growth from $1.3B to $16B.

My first job after B-school was at the HP Corporate Offices (never referred to as Corporate Headquarters because it was the divisions that generated the profits) and I occasionally saw John in the sandwich bar line in the cafeteria like everyone else. HP used to have weekly corporate jet flights from SJ airport to Corvallis and Colorado. A co-worker and I were the only passengers flying back from Corvallis one time when they delayed take-off for a couple of late employees and Young got on the plane with the COO. After take-off, he introduced himself, asked what we were doing, and passed out the sodas and pretzels from the back mini-fridge.
I can't imagine his contemporaries like Jack Welch or current guys like Zuck or Musk doing that. People said Young was as hard-nosed as he needed to be, but didn't throw his weight around.

I read elsewhere that Jim Marshall still holds the NFL record for most yards lost on a play when he ran a fumble 66 yards to the wrong end zone for a 49ers safety. As I recall the video of the play, one of the 49ers congratulated him in the end zone while Marshall was comprehending his mistake.

I also read that years after his retirement, he and some friends were hunting (?) in the woods of Minnesota and got lost. To get through a cold night, they supposedly burned money to keep warm and stay alive, though I have my doubts that money would burn long enough to provide much warmth.

Lol!!
Thank you.

I was about to post a general plea, "OMG, did NOBODY get my joke about Jim Marshall???"

I thought it would be obvious.

Such a famous play.
Vs 49ers (local)
And the Cal wrong way play before it (hyper local).

Let's give the play its full due (and note the Cal lowlight mid vid)


(Uhg, just click and watch in YouTube app)

Yeah, the only way I could imagine that would be true is if they used some bills as starter kindling.

Well, when I was an elementary school boy and he moved my team to LA, he became disliked.

When he moved back and strong armed Oakland with the PSL (Personal Seat Licensing) guarantee deal that took money from city services, he became an enemy.

When his son moved the team to Las Vegas, once again dissing hometown fans hearts, he became the worst enemy.

F*** Al Davis !!!!
