Diane Keaton. THR. IMDB.

I think her death has been very well covered everywhere, but fun fact by way of Lawrence: yes, she was a “Mannix” alumna. (“The Color of Murder”, season 4, episode 22. She was “Cindy Conrad”.) She also appeared on “The F.B.I.”.

NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:

NY Jets

Denver 13, NY Jest 11. It was closer than I (kind of) expected, but I did say these foreign games are unpredictable.

Next week: Carolina. At the moment, the Jets are a slight favorite.

And, in an attempt to put all the norts spews in one place for everyone:

James Franklin out after 12 years at Penn State. 104-45 overall, “the second winningest coach” in PSU history, but they lost to Northwestern 22-21 yesterday. PSU was a heavy favorite in that game.

Under Franklin this year, the Nittany Lions sit 15th in the Big Ten with the 70th-ranked total offense in the country and 27th in total defense.

They are 3-3 this season, and it looks like they lost their starting quarterback for the season. More from ESPN.

Trent Bray out as coach of Oregon State, which is 0-7 this season. 5-14 over “less than two seasons”, lost 13 of his final 14 games, and OSU was defeated 39-14 by Wake Forest yesterday. ESPN.

Edited to add: Lawrence pointed out that the Jest finished with…-10 yards passing. That’s not a typo: negative 10 passing yards. 45 yards passing, 55 yards lost to sacks.

It was also the fewest in any NFL game since the Chargers had minus-19 against the Kansas City Chiefs in Ryan Leaf’s third career start in 1998.

Wow. Ryan Leaf.
