RIP: Willis Reed

Basketball lost a legend today as New York Knicks icon, Willis Reed, passed away at the age of 80. A superstar at Grambling State where he led the Tigers to an NAIA Title, Reed was drafted by the New York Knicks with the First Pick of the Second Round of the 1964 Draft.  Reed played at Center and Power Forward, but was incredibly physical at 6’ 9”, allowing him to match up well with the taller opponents of his day. Reed won the 1964/65 NBA Rookie of the Year Award, and he began a seven-year run as an All-Star, a…
Following Devin McCourty, we have another significant New England Patriot who has announced his retirement in Dont’a Hightower. Hightower was the 28thOverall Pick in 2012, and the All-American from Alabama won the starting strongside Linebacker in training camp for Bill Belichick.  Hightower became a dependable part of the New England defense, later moving to the weak side, but always excellent in his role.    A large part of the Patriots' success in the 2010s, Hightower helped New England win three Super Bowls, most notably with a strip sack that sparked the Patriots comeback against Atlanta in SB LI.   Along the way, the…

Wrestlemania is coming fast and furious, and we now know our third entrant to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023, which is Andy Kaufman. Kaufman was a popular actor and comedian, who was the breakout star of the sitcom, Taxi.  Always enamoured with pro wrestling, Kaufman incorporated intergender wrestling into his act, and worked that into a money-making angle in Memphis with Jerry “The King” Lawler, that would bleed across Saturday Night Live and Late Night With David Letterman.   We assume that it will be Lawler who will be doing the induction. This is long overdue, and when the…
Tonight, during the UFC 286 show, it was announced that Anderson Silva will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame as part of the Pioneer Division. “The Spider” held the UFC Middleweight Title from 2006 to 2013, and compiled a 16-match winning streak, which remains the longest in promotion history.  Silva had an overall MMA record of 34-11-0-1, won the Fight of the Night five times, Knockout of the Night seven times, and Submission of the Night twice.  He holds wins over Rich Franklin (twice), Dan Henderson, Forest Griffin, Chael Sonnen (twice), Vitor Belfour and Stephen Bonnar, and is the greatest…
