farmteam Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Pete Pihos, the only Indiana Hoosier football player to twice be selected to the All-American team, and the only one to be elected the Hall of Fame, died at 87 after battling Alzheimer's. http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/?p=15085 Sidenote: Without looking it up, I'm assuming he's not the only one in the Hall of Fame...Taliaferro was the first black player in the NFL and is probably in the Hall of Fame, right?

Milkman delivers Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 This happened over a month ago, but I only just stumbled on it. Tom Aldredge passed away. He was one of my favorite character actors. He was in a ton of stuff, most notably recently as Carmela's father on the Sopranos and Nucky's father on Boardwalk Empire.
