Joe Don Baker (1936-2025)
Tall, broad shouldered character actor with Texan drawl first appeared in support in several Western vehicles both on TV and the cinema in the mid 1960s. Got himself noticed playing Steve McQueen's younger brother in Junior Bonner (1972), and then scored the lead role of Buford Pusser (!) in the unexpected hit Walking Tall (1973), an allegedly true tale about a Southern sheriff confronting corruption & gangsters with a large wooden club and a mean attitude. Followed it up by playing a sadistic hit man called Molly, in Don Siegel's bank heist drama Charley Varrick (1973). Joe Don Baker's next few films were rather forgettable until he landed the role of police detective Earl Eischied in To Kill a Cop (1978)....which led him into reprising the same character in the short lived TV series Eischied (1979). Since then he has proved he is also quite adept at taking on comedy roles, as well as picking up plenty of work playing lawmen, military men, politicians etc. Keep your eye open for him as a nosy police chief in Fletch (1985), a meglomanical general in The Living Daylights (1987), as a redneck father in Mars Attacks! (1996), and as intelligence operative Jack Wade in the 007 films Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and GoldenEye (1995).
Just sayin': I remember him from Walking Tall and the James Bond films.

1. Hope to grow the game through this… always. Anything we can do to put our game in front of eyes is a good thing.Loading…
www.olympics.com"The stakes just got even bigger": Lacrosse stars share their excitement for LA28
Lacrosse is back on the Olympic stage at LA28, and the world’s best are buzzing with excitement. Discover why this dynamic sport promises unforgettable moments in Los Angeles.
For centuries, lacrosse has been more than just a game. Born from the sacred traditions of Indigenous peoples of North America, it has been a symbol of unity, competition, and cultural pride.
Now, at the Olympic Games LA 2028, lacrosse is poised to take on one more identity: an Olympic sport.
Lacrosse made its Olympic debut as a medal sport in St. Louis in 1904, and London 1908, later appearing as a demonstration sport in Amsterdam in 1928, Los Angeles in 1932, and London in 1948. But despite its impressive combination of speed, strategy, and physicality, it has since spent decades on the fringes of the Olympic Games, though adored widely by practitioners worldwide.
With its inclusion for LA28, players and fans alike are brimming with excitement. The sport returns in a fittingly electrifying, fast-paced sixes format, offering a fresh twist that promises to attract new audiences.
For many, it’s an opportunity to witness the sport at its best, while stars from around the world play for the podium, and, hopefully, inspire future generations along the way.

Just sayin':
1. I just noticed that lacrosse will be an Olympic sport in 2028. I'm guessing that will ultimately contribute to making college lacrosse even more popular.
2, OK how much different is the "sixes format" than the 10 player team Ohio State uses?
2. Same difference between Rugby and Sevens. It will be much smaller field, and much faster. It will resemble something that looks like lacrosse but will have elements of the box game as well.
As a purist, I’m not a fan. I wish they would just let our game be played as we play it… as one who wants to share the game, I’m willing to see how it goes. If we make our game more accessible and it draws people to the game, all good by me.
I have particular interest in this Olympics. I’ll leave it at that for now, but I’m glad to have our sport, and I pray it’s history, represented on the world’s stage.
