So long Lt. Frank Drebin, We Hardly Knew Ye.

Just the other day I was thinking that we're going to be looking at some sad celebrity deaths soon. First on my mind -- and I'm sorry Clint -- is good ol Mr. Eastwood. Because let's be honest, he's not a spring chicken anymore, and I cringe at the thought of what an Eastwoodless world will be like. But as my mind wandered from aging celebrity to aging celebrity -- Michael Douglas, Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson -- I'll admit my mind never quite made it to Leslie Nielsen. I dunno why I didn't think of him. Maybe I somehow thought of him as invincible because of all those time he's made me laugh so hard I'd wake up the next morning feeling like I had done a thousand situps the day before. But everyone knows him as either Dr. Rumack from Airplane! or police Lt. Frank Drebin from the Naked Gun series. But most people don't know his roots, where believe it or not, he was typecast as a serious actor and lots of people doubted he's be able to pull off the deadpan slapstick comedy he was later known for. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Nielsen enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force an aerial gunner during the latter part of World War II, and worked as a disc jockey before receiving a scholarship to Neighborhood Playhouse. Beginning with a television role in 1948, he quickly expanded to over 50 television appearances two years later. Nielsen appeared in his first films in 1956 and began collecting roles in dramas, westerns, and romance films. Nielsen's lead roles in the films Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972) received positive reviews as a serious actor. Probably the one time he really creeped me out was a quick segment in the first Creepshow! [part 1 - part 2] I tried to find a better version of that, but the only thing I could find in high def was the ending. Well, okay he's creeped me out twice if you count his portrayal as a crazy ass rapist/survivalist in Day of the Animals. I know you did your best to show Will Ferrell how slapstick comedy is supposed to be done, but he just didn't get it. So I guess it's so long Leslie Nielson/Dr. Rumack/Lt. Drebin/Commander J. J. Adams/rapist guy, I do hope you are loving it.

And more sadness from my childhood. If the A-10 is my favorite plane, the FB-111 is probably close on its heels. And on Thursday, December 3rd, 2010, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will officially retire its remaining General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark strike aircraft. The date will mark the end of more than four decades of service for this remarkable plane.

An agile German fighter plane during World War I, the Albatross D-III was amazingly aerodynamically advanced for its time. Its final redesign was very quick and maneuverable, making it a favorite for this guy named Manfred von Richthofen, otherwise known as the Red Baron. The Red Baron flew it, racked up over a dozen kills, painted it red and made it one of the most iconic fighter planes in history. The final redesign, that is. The only problem? There were problems with the early designs. No big deal. It could just, you know, literally melt the pilot's face off.

Titans DB Cortland Finnegan is that type of player that likes to get an edge any way he can. Many times these types of players are labeled as dirty. Yesterdaym we saw first hand what dirty players do as Finnegan's face mask grabbing of Texans WR Andre Johnson at the line of scrimmage pushed the receiver too far. Johnson threw Finnegan and his helmet to the ground before punching Finnegan in the face several times.
