Bart Starr, 85.
Really nice guy. I once got his autograph when he was coming off the practice field. He asked me if I'd do him a favor and carry his helmet for him as he was signing. As a kid of course I didn't realize he was kind of having fun with it, or realize I might be able to open a checking account in his name. Or maybe by that point in his career his shoulder really was that decrepit and I was doing him a favor, in which case he still owes me one. bastich.

theres a bunch of people like this but one of the top ones for me was rip torn....that is people whose name you heard a million times when you were growing up but a person who youve never even seen a picture or knew what he/she did

I thought it was this Rip at first

Hope you're correct. Hope they all come to justice.
"Killed himself." Sure.
I hope I'm correct, too. The witnesses and victims survive, and can identify people. There were records, documents, etc. seized from his properties. Anyone involved needs to be found and held to account.

Dude was definitely either a CIA asset or, and there's more evidence for this, Mossad. His partner in crime was super connected to Israeli intelligence.
