1st elected mayor of a major city, no? It scores in the death pool.

Mike Nichols died. He directed a lot of stuff that I like and admire. Charlie Wilson's War a particular favorite for me.

Very distinguished career.

RIP

 

[Mudcat]

Nichols has the rare distinction of making a film where the author of the book on which it was based was happy with it. So Kurt Vonnegut said of Joseph Heller's reaction to Catch-22.

 

[FairWarning]

Can't say I heard of the guy, then I saw he was married to Diane Sawyer. Can't believe she was married to an 83-YO.

 

[Matty]

Catch-22 (the movie) was a fokkin borefest.

 

[Mudcat]

Well Joe Heller and I like it so you can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

You can take a flying fuck at the moooooon.

Marion Berry. Loved his crack.

RIP

 

[FairWarning]

Iconic Russian coach Viktor Tikhonov dies at 84.

Pretty sure Casper hasn't heard of him. Guessing Reno has.

 

[reno cool]

wow! legend

 

[Mudcat]

In a strange bit of symmetry, Pat Quinn, head coach of Canada's gold medal Olympic hockey team from 2002, has also died.

RIP

 

[FairWarning]

Always liked the Ex-cop Pat Quinn.

 

[PuckOff]

That was Pat Burns, FW. Another legendary Leafs coach.

Pat Quinn was an excellent coach. Obviously well respected in the hockey community.

 

[PuckOff]

Tikhonov was just a ruthless intimidator who had the backing of the communist government. I wouldn't even consider him a good coach based on that. Once communism ended he couldn't coach a pee wee team.

You are correct. Never heard of him.

Fok, you're correct. Long day in this crappy weather.

It's true, comrade. soviet teams back then practised 11 out of the 12 months. The players were terrified to make mistakes. That is coaching by intimidation. I couldn't put Tikhonov in the HHOF based on that.
