Not to be confused with the first player in NFL to have 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards.

Also not to be confused with a person who was on a certain show and did rather well.

Robert Hanssen, 79, a former FBI agent who admitted to spying for Moscow, has been found dead in prison.

He was discovered unresponsive at a maximum-security facility in Florence, Colorado, on Monday morning.
He was played by Chris Cooper in the film take, Breach, which I distinctly remember not hating.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Author Cormac McCarthy, at 89. >50 Archive hits for books including No Country for Old Men, The Passenger, Blood Meridian, and All the Pretty Horses.
