Child Stars: Then and Now

Rock Stars: Then and Now

The respective ages of some of the biggest rock stars of my teen years:

- Joan Jett, 51

- Eddie Van Halen, 55 (David Lee Roth will turn 57 this year)

- Pat Benatar, 57

- Jon Bon Jovi, 58

- Bruce Springsteen, 60

- the "Heart" sisters, 56 and 60

- Stevie Nicks, 62

- Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane/Starship), 70

Other stuff I find mildly depressing...

- "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" is now 40 and working as a producer/director.

- Little Raven Simone of the Cosby Show was born the same year I graduated high school.

- Steve Perry of Journey has had hip replacement surgery.

- one of the Family Matters kids wound up in porn

- "Zach" from "Saved by the Bell is pushing 40 ("Screech" has a sex tape).

- One of the kids from "Hanson" is married and has a son.

Of course, there's also the fact that half the child stars - from the "Sixth Sense" kid to the Olsen Twins to Lindsay Lohan - have all been in rehab for one thing or another. Plus the knowledge that while the older stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" are still alive, two of the three child stars are dead.

Oy :(

For those who hadn't seen it:

New Panthers assistant OL coach Ray Brown played quite a while in the NFL. It came home to him just how long when he met a new young teammate with a familiar name.

He walked over and greeted the kid, telling him "You know, there was another guy with the same name as you playing in the NFL back when I first started."

The kid replied "I know. He's my Dad" :eek:

It was at that moment that Brown decided it might be time to think about retiring :lol:

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
