Mark Eaton, former NBA All-Star, passed away at age 64. He went out for a bike ride last night but did not return home. It is unavailable at this time as to specifically what caused his death.
Eaton stood at 7’ 4”, and joined the Utah Jazz after being taken with the 72nd Overall Pick in the NBA Draft. Playing his college ball at UCLA, Eaton used his size to be a defensive force, leading the league in Blocks per Game four times, and was a five-time All-Defensive Selection. In the 1984-85 and 1988-89 season, Eaton was named the Defensive Player of the Year, and in the latter year was also an All-Star.
He played his entire pro career with the Jazz, retiring after the 1992-93 Season, and had career averages of 6.0 Points, 7.9 Rebounds and 3.5 Blocks per Game.

Adam Vinatieri announced that he is retiring from the National Football League.
Playing his college ball at South Dakota State, Vinatieri began his pro career with the Amsterdam Admirals of the World League of American Football. The New England Patriots signed him after and in 1996, he was officially a National Football League player.
New England was a team on the rise and if we are to agree that New England has been the best team in the last 20 years, it was Vinatieri’s kick in the snow that began the dynasty. Against the Oakland Raiders in the playoffs, Vinatieri booted a 45 Yard Field Goal in a blizzard to send the game in Overtime, which he would win for them with a 23 Yard FG. The Patriots would then beat the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, with Vinatieri again kicking the winning Field Goal, this time from 48 Yards out. He would go to two Pro Bowls and earn two First Team All-Pro Selections as a Patriot, and would also win two more Super Bowls.
Vinatieri signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006 and he would win his fourth Super Bowl in his debut season in the Hoosier State. He played for Indianapolis until 2019, and leaves the game as the all-time leader in Points (2,673) and Field Goals (599).
Prior to the season, we had Vinatieri at #6 on our active player Hall of Fame monitor. Place Kickers (and other special teamers for that matter) generally have a tough road to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but Vinatieri is considered by most to be Canton bound. He had the longevity, the Super Bowls, the all-time records and the clutch kicks. He is getting into the Hall and the only question is on what ballot. As he did not play last year, he will be officially eligible in 2025.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Adam Vinatieri the best in his post-playing career.
Athletes are an entirely different breed of individuals, whether they are professional or mere hobbyists. An interesting romantic trend that has emerged regarding these individuals in recent years is that younger guys are partnering up with older women. This interesting outcome has led many to question what has caused this to happen? We’ll show you why this relationship setup is so attractive and how you can get started with one of your own.
Why would a famous sportsman date an older woman?
The question lingering in the minds of everyone who has witnessed this growing trend is: why would famous athletes go for older women? One certain reason is that older women are more attractive to sports stars than younger women. Not only have older women reached the prime of their beauty, but they have many psychological elements that are better. These women are more established in their personal lives, so they are not going to get together with a sports star only for their money. These women are looking to settle down and start a serious relationship rather than hop from one famous person to the next. Furthermore, older women know how to take care of their partners mentally, emotionally, and physically, something that sports stars need. For guys that have to be so careful about their money and livelihood, dating an older woman is smart.
How to meet a lonely MILF if you are not a famous athlete at all?
What do you do if you want to meet a local milf and you’re not a pro athlete? Fortunately, the options are wide open for younger guys. You could always attempt to meet older women at popular hangouts such as bookstores, wineries, and sports events. A more direct approach is to meet single women using online dating sites, where you can find local milfs that are looking for a match. These sites are fast, safe, and loaded with interesting and unique older women.
Couples with an age gap when men are younger
Many famous sports couples have emerged in recent years with a younger guy and an older woman. Take a look at these famous couples to see how common it is for this relationship dynamic to occur.
Most Oakland Raiders fans known Nnamdi Asomugha as the star player from the 2003 draft class. He came into the NFL dominated for about a decade and then retired after a few stints at other teams. He had a very good career, and now he is married to Kerry Washington, who is five years older than him.
Gerard Pique is a famous football/soccer player who is currently playing for FC Barcelona. He is also romantically linked with Shakira, the famous musician. They make an interesting couple since they have an age disparity and lead such different lives.
Basketball player Tony Parker was once married to Eva Longoria from 2007-2011, showing his preference for older ladies. He married a woman closer to his age but has since split from her, too.
These are just a few of the most famous names that have fallen in love with older women.
Athletes are definitely a unique breed of people, and their romantic desires are rarely the norm for their age. As we have shown, many reasons exist for people to enjoy dating older women, including their beauty and self-sufficiency. No matter what reason you have for desiring a relationship with a worldly woman, you will have many paths available to meet one.
