Former CFL head coach John Gregory died at the age of 84.

Gregory's first coaching job was at Iowa Central Community College, where he was assistant head coach and athletic director of the new football program. In Gregory's three years there, the program had a 24–3–1 record and won the Wool Bowl in 1969. John Matuszak, who was recruited by Gregory, went on to become the number one pick in the 1973 NFL Draft.

His first college head coaching job was at South Dakota State, where he had 55–50–3 record from 1972 to 1981. Gregory is third in school history in coaching victories and his 1979 team had a single season best record of 9–2. SDSU didn't have a winning record the previous 11 seasons before Gregory's arrival.
After serving as Northern Iowa's offensive coordinator in 1982, Gregory was the offensive line coach for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for six seasons. In 1984 Winnipeg won the Grey Cup in part due to Gregory's offensive line, which helped set a CFL single-season rushing record.

After the 1986 season, he was hired to coach Saskatchewan Roughriders, a team that had no playoff appearances in the past 11 years. While the Saskatchewan Roughriders finished in 4th (and last) place in the CFL West Division with a 5-12-1 record in his first season at the helm of the Western Riders in 1987, the following year, he led the Riders to an 11–7 record and a playoff berth. He won the Annis Stukus Trophy as the league's coach of the year. In 1989, the Roughriders finished 9–9 and won the 77th Grey Cup, their first since 1966. After a 1–6 start in 1991, he was fired and replaced by Don Matthews. He had a 35–43–1 overall record in Saskatchewan. That same season, he was hired to replace David Beckman as the head coach of the 0–8 Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He made the postseason two of the four years he was with the team and finished with a 24–40 record. After his CFL stint he went on to coach in the Arena Football League.

Tom Flanigan, a former MLB pitcher, passed away at the age of 88.

The following is an excerpt from Flanigan's online obituary: "Tom was born September 6, 1934, in Cincinnati, the son of the late Robert D. Flanigan and Marie C. Nieberding Flanigan. Tom was drafted by the Memphis Chicks in 1952 and then played baseball for the Chicago White Sox and the Louisville Cardinals. He worked many years for an insurance company and retired from Pilot Home Center. "

He was a left-handed pitcher who appeared in three Major League Baseball games over the course of a seven-year professional career — two games for the 1954 Chicago White Sox and one for the 1958 St. Louis Cardinals.
Flanigan began his third professional season at age 19 on the White Sox' MLB roster, and appeared in two games, both in relief, allowing no runs and only one hit (a single to Frank Bolling of the Detroit Tigers) in 1⅔ innings pitched.[1] After spending the rest of 1954, and all of 1955 through 1957, in minor league baseball, he was selected in the winter 1957 Rule 5 draft by the Cardinals and began 1958 on their roster. In his only National League appearance against the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium on April 15, Flanigan hurled an inning in relief and allowed two hits and one run, the latter coming on a home run by Cubs catcher Cal Neeman. He was then returned to the White Sox' Indianapolis Indians affiliate, from which he was drafted.
