Cullen was also the "voice" for the Predator alien.  That had to be weird to watch in the recording studio.

Watched a lot of NHL when I was younger, pretty much until Fox and ESPN got away from prioritizing NHL broadcasts in the early 2000s. After that, Barry Melrose was my gateway to following hockey. Will always remember him for his knowledgeable commentary and especially his enthusiasm for all things hockey.

It is with great sadness that we confirm the death of Jeffrey Archer, who died quickly and peacefully at home yesterday, with family, between writing sessions, aged 86.

I have read/listened to several of his books, great author.

86 and still writing, not bad.

Yes, I saw a Kansas-centric sports Fb site mention that.  Another Kansas native.  Was 75.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/sports/sam-mcdowell-dead.html

Pitching in all or part of 15 major league seasons, 11 with the Indians, McDowell led the American League in strikeouts five times and posted a single-season high of 325 in 1965. Throwing out of a 6-foot-5-inch, 190-pound frame, he struck out 2,453 batters in 2,492 innings.

He was named to the A.L. All-Star team six times and finished third in balloting for the Cy Young Award as the American League’s most outstanding pitcher in 1970. He went 20-12 that season and struck out 304 batters in 305 innings pitched.

RIP To Sam and Mike certainly characters and their respect sports were better for having them. I met Sam once, personally,well brushed off really but that's a story i shared here a while back.
