    Bernie was one of the best at looking like a badass.

    I hope he took his theme music with him. No good hero should go to Heaven without it.

    RIP. He was great at playing the cool, tough guy. He also had a good turn in a TV movie as Maurice Stokes, the NBA player who suffered a debilitating stroke in his prime.

    Man he was great in that movie. Let us not speak of the sequels. Explaining why the nerds weren't the usual candidates for Tri-Lam membership--"After all. You're nerds."--is one of the funniest lines of the '80s.

    Unrelated but interesting: Him and Jim Brown retiring from the NFL at their peaks offers us a reminder it's not just today's players recognizing the dangers of the game often don't outweigh the benefits.

    I can't find the NFL Films piece on him, but it was excellent. Also enjoyed him in Never Say Never Again

    There was a time you could throw the word "black" into any movie title and have an instant audience.
