RIP

 

[the nail at the foul line]

He called 911 after killing Doyle and asked for an ambulance or a Hurst. ( Needed a shifter I guess.)

Still can’t believe you let him run you down. No races to lose anymore. RIP

I gave you all a few hours but you've somehow missed the obvious...

Yeah… but this one stings. He was a good dude.

Oh I hear ya. One summer as a kid I obsessively watched Rocky's III and IV and then discovered him in Predator. I was also the perfect age for the silliness of Happy Gilmore. Plus I had a dog named Chubbs (before I watched Gilmore).

Imo, the best opponent and villain in the Rocky movies. Actually looked like a fighter. Sad day

[the nail at the foul line]

He killed Richard Kiel with a knife allowing the allied squad to complete their mission of destroying that bridge in Yugoslavia.

Damn Russian.

Growing up we had a German Shepherd named Apollo, our next door neighbor got a Fluffy white something or other dog and named him Rocky. They never fought though.

Did he get the jab? Old people dying all of a sudden is fishy. Never used to happen.

Not going to litigate the pros or cons of the jab. Just going to point out that old people dying all of the sudden has ALWAYS happened, and always will happen, eventually.

According to his death certificate, the official cause of death was “atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease” and his death is listed as “natural,”

For those who don’t know, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is where your arteries become narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow through them. It increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.

"Currently, ASCVD-related conditions remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally".

His final on-screen appearance will be in a Super Bowl commercial tomorrow:
