RIP: Jeff Beck

Written by
Committee Chairman
We are losing too many legends already in this short year. Rock and Roll superstar, Jeff Beck passed away today at the age of 78. He first gained international attention as a member of the Yardbirds, and his blues-infused style made him one of the most admired guitarists of his era. The Yardbirds also featured Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton (before Beck joined), and generated the hits, “Heart Full of Soul”, “For Your Love”, and “Shapes of Things”, but like Clapton, Beck left the band in 1966 and formed his own group. As a solo, or leading the Jeff Beck Group, Beck…

Written by
Committee Chairman
One of the most spectacular defensive careers came to an end today as J.J. Watt, who announced two weeks ago that this would be his final NFL season. With the Arizona Cardinals out of playoff contention, today’s game against the San Francisco 49ers saw Watt ride off into the sunset. Watt dominated as a Senior at Wisconsin, winning the Lott Trophy and earning All-American honors. The Houston Texans used their 11th Overall Pick to take the Defensive End, and he instantly became the face of the franchise. After a good rookie year, Watt went on a four-year tear where he was easily the…
