I saw this and it surely has a big effect on many people.  These announcers, calling games for the ole alma mater, are special voices in our lives.

Yup the Browns last fall lost Jimmy Donovon that called the contests for 25 yrs to cancer much better a calling games than the Browns playing it. Always raked leaves/other assorted projects while being kept in the loop by guys like them. RIP Greg

Gene Hackman has to be one of the most versitile actors ever in Hollywood. The man played so many different characters and did them very well. He will be missed.

RIP to both.  Hackman is an all time favorite actor of mine, and Trachtenberg was very young for such an unexpected death.

"Bat 21".  Overlooked but a good one.

He was a marvelous actor.  A man's man.

He was right up there with Robert Duvall for me.

Watch the Godfathers the last two nights - 1 and 2. Duvall is very underrated for those efforts.
