RIP Hot Rod

Cardiac arrest in his sleep.  One of my all time favorite entertainers.

"Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the question"

One of the best lines ever uttered in professional wrestling.

"I am here to kick ass and chew bubble gum.  And I am all out of bubble gum"

One of the funniest and most memorable lines in cinematic history

RIP

Awful news. Rest in peace, Roddy. I was browsing the Network just two days ago and decided on Piper-Hogan from Starrcade '96. What a legend.

Finding out Hogan is a total poo bag this week kinda sucked, too.

I watched WM3 on the Network the other day. Like 60% of those guys are dead now. Awful

Wow only 61.

He outlived the life expectancy of a pro wrestler by about 10 years.

Doing steroids and pumping your body full of pain killers so you can slam your body around 4-5 days a week for 20+ years is pretty taxing on the human body.

Those guys drop like flies in their 40/50s.

The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.
    • It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.
    • Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
