LOS ANGELES — Former NFL defensive star Bubba Smith, who found a successful second career as an actor, has died in Los Angeles at age 66. Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter says Smith was found dead Wednesday at his Baldwin Hills home. Winter says he didn’t know the circumstances or cause of death. Police spokesman Richard French says the death does not appear to be suspicious. Smith spent five seasons with the Baltimore Colts and two season each with Oakland and Houston. He played college ball at Michigan State. As an actor he played such characters as a police officer in the “Police Academy” series.

Smith played college football at Michigan State University. He was awarded with All-America honors in 1965 and 1966. In his senior season, he played in the "Game of the Century" (a 10–10 tie at home against the University of Notre Dame). Michigan State finished 2nd in the voting for the National Championship, behind Notre Dame. In 1988, Smith was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Smith was a popular athlete at Michigan State, with the popular fan chant of "Kill Bubba, Kill." Michigan State retired his number 95 jersey on September 23, 2006, prior to the Spartans' home game against Notre Dame, amid repeated cheers of his old slogan from the student section. This game also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the "Game of the Century".
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
He got pwned by tackle Dave Herman during the Super Bowl, Jets vs. Colts. Police spokesman Richard French says the death does not appear to be suspicious. Sounds "racist."
Though Bobby Sherman is my hero and DREAMY, America is hijacked by Elites and Leftists.
