ABC News anchorman Frank Reynolds, concluding coverage of the 1979 eclipse, noting that the next visible (to the U.S.) eclipse would happen on Aug. 21, 2017:

Woman writing about cleaning out her deceased mothers house...
"This is one of the hardest things I've had to do. And I've dated musicians."

DanDan didn't break any actual rules, but I'm confident he was also an academic paper spammer. Stole a profile photo from an employee at a Russian interior design firm. Posted from the same ISP as the previous spammer a couple minutes earlier. And his/her address has been reported multiple times at StopForumSpam.

Former NFL ref (1990 - 2017) Ed Hochuli:

“I worked over 600 games in the NFL, and there wasn’t a single game right up to the very last one that there weren’t a half a dozen times in that game [where] I said, ‘Oh my god, how’s that guy gonna get up off the ground? He’s gotta be dead.”
