Ok going way back for this one. Back late 70s to 80 Illinois State football had a wide receiver named Jim Fitzpatrick that became a professional actor. He had a regular role on the soap "All My Children" among many other movie and TV credits. Recently I was watching the video for the "I would do anything for love" song by Meatloaf. The police detective in the video wearing glasses and holding a flashlight is a dead ringer for him but I can't confirm it. It's just a music video and he doesn't have any speaking lines so I can't find the part credited anywhere. But somebody out there knows the answer. Maybe Fitz himself? Can someone confirm if this is him? I think this deserves an award for best nonspeaking music video performance because he's one very intent and serious detective.

Television credits include "South of Sunset," "Sweating Bullets," "Guts and Glory," "Anything But Love," "Tour of Duty," "Designing Women," "The New Gidget," "Miami Vice," "Days of our Lives," "Santa Barbara" and "Capitol."

Shelby is coming back to the Broncos for 1 year $3.25. I'm surprised there wasn't more of a market for him.

Wonder what happened .. apparently theres even conflicting reports over whether there is actually a deal with Bronco's yet ... with Bronco's saying there is no deal yet. Hope this deal closes for him.

Something happened to affect this, or maybe there's just a lot of depth at DT in draft and/or free agent market .. I'm not follow that.

 

[bombay]

Nicki Jhabvala reported it on The Athletic and twitter, and I've never seen her post an inaccurate story. I don't know what happened to his market.

Oh, Klis. He's a hack who is often mistaken. Schefter took him to the woodshed a couple of days ago for an inaccurate story about Melvin Gordon.

Congrats to Harris. He’s a big part of what could be a really good defense in Denver and cool that he and Davontae Harris will be teammates again .

He hopefully has another big season.

Didn't really think this needed its own thread, so I'll park it here. Grad assistant moving on:

Indiana:

Ben Black has joined the staff as a defensive graduate assistant after serving in the same capacity at Illinois State University in 2019.

Most fans will shrug their shoulders over the loss of a GA but Ben Black can coach. I'm glad that he is going to Indiana as a grad asst because it leaves the door open to bringing him back as a full-time asst. Of course we already have an excellent D-Line Coach in Brian Hendricks. Coach Spack raves about him. That's the problem - he's too good. Hendricks will have a highly talented and experienced group of D-Linemen to coach. That's great news for the upcoming season and bad news for afterwards. I fully expect Hendricks to get some FBS offers for '21, and maybe even some P5 offers. When Hendricks leaves (not really an "if" in my mind), then I have to believe that Ben Black is high on the shortlist of replacements.

Shelby and DeVonte Harris got into a really stupid twitter war today RE kids/face coverings in public.

great news for Liedtke .. says a lot that he misses all of 2019 with injury, is basically a career backup, and still gets another shot.
