Thus completing the death trifecta for the day?

This looks like a new sports trifecta

I've got a feeling the TF queue won't get clogged up with submissions about Keith "Nugget" Miller.

/Didn't RTFA
//I'm sure he was a nice guy

"His record of 2958 runs at an average of 36.97 and 170 wickets at 22.97 from 55 Tests were impressive by any standards."

Ok then, I guess.

It's too bad that he had to die 2 years ago but nobody knew because he had auto payment of his bills...

reaching, weak-ass, trifecta completion.

RIP Keith...84 ? had a good innings...

Crikey!

Max Faget died too. Must be the change in the seasons.

ahh don't come the raw prawn with me!

Thus completing the death trifecta for the day?
If you count Mariano Rivera's relatives we're up to a Quinella already.

Let's see if this trick works:

Boobies!

This is not the time or place to troll.

At least now he doesn't have to hear people call him "Nugget" anymore.

Shucks... I thought the time would change too (something like one day later), so the post would be at the bottom of the thread all the time.

Is every single person that dies today going to feature on Fark?

As a NEWS FLASH, no less.

Saint 'Nugget'

They're really digging for the trifecta today.

I guess if horse endangerment, erm I mean EQUESTRIAN is a sport, we have a sports trifecta.

You know, horses and NASCARs are my favourite athletes.

steroids?

"Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing cricket is not,"

And it wreaks havoc with your arse-grapes too.

May I humbly request that we have no more deaths today?

/saw a bit of THE END on Cinemax this morning and am already an emotional wreck

What the hell is a wicket?

There's no way this couts as the trifecta. It has to be someone us dumb Americans have ever heard of. Heck... the rest of the world has never heard of Ken Caminiti.

Who's Ken Caminiti?

Please, Jesus, NO!!!! This can't be happening!!! My God!! Why is life so unfair?!?! Taken in the prime of life! Who knows what he could have accomplished if he could have lived to be 100! I got the news this morning when several people called me and woke me out of bed. I saw my neighbor on the front steps. He was on his way to the car but I guess he'd just broken down crying. I hate to see a big man cry like that but... he's a big Australian cricket fan as was his dad who recently died in a bleach/ammonia mixing accident, so it was understandable. He just looked at me from across the street and sobbed, "I just don't know, Scotto. I just don't."

We're taking this news very hard in Boston.

Dangerfield was the start. This, I think, was just part of the frenzy.

RIP Keith Miller :(

Haven't seen a double post upon 'refresh' in a long time.
/no longer time and place to troll.

Gone to the big NUGGET farm in the sky !

His last motion was with his right foot attempting to do an aileron kickover.

Is this going to be the end of a celebrity trifecta or only the second of a sports one?

tee-hee-hee @ scotto

A real superman died today, and it was not Christopher Reeve.

R.I.P. Keith Miller.

"Cricket" and "legend" seem odd together. Kind of like Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett were.

My mother-in-law's preacher died this morning, from gastric bypass repair. News flash?

It's a Monday morning Die-fecta!

From resulting complications.

My sentiments exactly. Keith Miller was a hero to generations of Australians, and will be sorely missed

RIP

If the US could ever find anyone else to play baseball or "football" against, then there might be more appreciation of a team like Australia's 1948 Ashes team. Anyone who won Bradman's respect qualifies as a legend.
