Jim Sweeney, the coach of Fresno State's football team for nearly 20 years, has died at the age of 83, the school announced Friday (Feb. 8). Sweeney led the school to a record 144 victories.
Fresno State athletic director Thomas Boeh says in a statement: "Most of what our football program has accomplished in recent years was clearly made possible by the path that Coach Sweeney blazed for Fresno State football throughout his two decades of leadership.

The film stars Eric Colven, Simon Burbage, Jim Sweeney, and Danny Brown. Look for more on this one soon.
Synopsis
Since the outbreak, pockets of survivors live in isolated stockades dotted around the country, and so successful has this separation been that there have been no new infections for months. The zombies have decayed away; deteriorating to slow, shambolic, toothless pests.
We join a group of eight survivors in the middle of a six-day march across the badlands, moving from one of the smaller stockades to the central most-populous hub. A party of people all dealing with...

If you don't know who Greg Proops is, you probably haven't watched television, listened to the radio, been to a stand-up comedy show, or otherwise been exposed to any form of entertainment in the last 30 years. From "Whose Line is it Anyway?" to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" to "Bob the Builder" to "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" to "The Smartest Man in the World," he's worked in comedy clubs all over the world, been on numerous television shows, recorded radio shows and podcasts, and provided the voices of characters in some of the biggest films of all time. And perhaps most miraculously, he's managed to move from one project to the next, for more than three decades, without sacrificing any of his personality, much less his '50s hipster personal style.
Proops got his start as a class clown before venturing out in front of the microphone in San Francisco as a teenager.
