    Niki Lauda, 3x Formula 1 Champion.
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mo...i-lauda-dies-at-70/ar-AABFeqU?ocid=spartandhp

    Lauda won the F1 drivers' championship in 1975 and 1977 with Ferrari and again in 1984 with McLaren.
    In 1976, he was badly burned when he crashed during the German Grand Prix, but he made an astonishingly fast return to racing just six weeks later.
    Lauda remained closely involved with the F1 circuit after retiring as a driver in 1985, and in recent years served as the non-executive chairman of the Mercedes team.

    Entrance, exit, somewhere in between....one of TV's all-time funniest moments.

    Referees almost die in Cleveland.

    Compared to this, Saints fans reaction to being screw was pretty mild.

    Bill Buckner, from dementia. Same type that Robin Williams had.

    I hate that he'll probably be remembered for that one error. #22 with the Dodgers was one of my favorites.

    No matter how great a career you have, if you make a crucial boo boo on the biggest state that's what you will be remembered for for the rest of your life.

    This is worth seeing just for Vin Scully's call.



    Jackie Smith was a Hall of Fame tight end who had a long and productive career but this is what he is most remembered for.

    For sure although that error, over time, has been described as what cost them the Series and that is not true. The Sox blew a 3-0 lead in game 7 to lose.
