Here's a hint. It's the same dead guy posted two responses above that post. Work with us here, bean pie.

eah, but 'Vark, there are four people in that picture, three of them "guys." Numbers 1, 3 and 4. You haven't said whom it is, nor which one it is in the picture. Just do us all a favor, stop the torture and be like Heisenberg: "Say his name."

wait, wait. I was thinking of a reply to this at work and when I got home it had already been answered. I'm going to forge ahead anyway for the sake of BBS content.

This is a logic conundrum in the style of 'the Shortstop Eats Spaghetti' puzzles. There are four people pictured above. You know one of them is dead. Going from right to left:

Charles Grodin........status: living (unfortunately. I saw Midnight Run)

next to him is :

Jeff Bridges.........status: living (the dude abides)

next to him is:

Jessica Lange......status: not a guy. (not gender applicable to being called a guy)

standing next to her is:

the only one left in the photo......status: dead

see how easy that was!

You lost him at "logic."

Vaughan Johnson, inside linebacker for the New Orleans Saints.

I was "out of market" as a kid and teenager so I didn't see a ton of Saints game. Tried to follow along with the radio when I could. I remember one night they were on Monday Night Football and I had to go to bed. I assumed they'd get killed. The newspaper was published before the game was over.

The quickest way for me to get news on who won the game was to call a local radio DJ and ask. And he gave me the answer! What a different time.

No kid grows up thinking, man, I hope to really get into LINEBACKERS. But the Saints had the best linebackers in the history of football. Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughan Johnson and Pat Swilling. One year all four of them went to the pro bowl which will probably never happen again. Vaughan was one of the hardest hitters in the game, quotes abound. I would put him in whatever level of play there is for guys just under the NFL Hall of Fame.

As a kid, you see this guy and you're like, "He has no neck!" That's a football player.

I was getting Saints jerseys for a while and someone was selling something between replica (those are shit, but they are cheap and easy) and authentic and Vaughan freaking Johnson happened to be one of them. It was fairly inexpensive, so I bought one and wore it the last time I was in New Orleans for a game. It was a nice ice breaker between me and the people that live in New Orleans because everyone remembers Vaughan.

RIP #53.

Now you're just fuckin' with him.

Re: Football linebackers. I always thought that 'Steel Curtain' lineup was the greatest in the history of the NFL. Dunno the names, gotta right click and search.....

search....

after searching; Mean Joe Green is the only name I know.

Mean Joe Greene was a defensive tackle though.

Nobody is saying that the Saints defense as a whole during those years was better, just the linebackers. You had Jack Lambert on the Steelers and Jack Ham. Lambert is probably the most accomplished of the bunch but I'd take all four of the Saints guys over Ham. But I'm biased I guess.

I don't know anyone else on the 70s Steelers linebacker groups though.

No. Not Danny fucking Aiello. I loved that guy.

I don't either, it's just that I grew up around a bunch of Steelers fans.

Paul: This is Philip McKeon, Alice's son on the hit television show, Alice. He also played a demon in Ghoulies IV, although you might have missed that one.

No, I'm not giving in. Part of the game is the minimal effort required to figure out who it is. All the images are internet located so a simple search this image works.

Let's do it like this, Paul gets a PM with the name of the deceased, like having the answers in the back of a puzzle book.

but everyone else can play at home
