    Ozzy is correct!

     

    John is Ozzy's real first name.

     

    How the hell did you get that???  Not a lot to go on.

            I was being sarcastic.  Oddly this is my third correct guess like that.   I should learn to use the same principal when investing. 

     

            I hope this is a quick one.  Male, Athlete, Living, American.   That gets the big ones out of the way,

    Not known as an actor but did some acting.

     

    No known as an athlete but his death was sports related.

         Is car racing a sport?  Not that it has to do with this.

     

        Gee, I am behind a little.  Used notifications and didn't go to the end.

    On the right path... But no. 

     

    Awe come on! Nope. I said typewriter,  not trombone. 

     

    Researching is allowed... From the Midwest,  I go past the road stop named after him every time I go back to BFLo...

     

    A true America hero!

            I have to go but I will return, tomorrow.   Game is always better when  more than one are guessing.

    Dogface Greybeard is hot on the trail!

     

    Neither. 

       Not to go off on a tangent, I considered enlisted as drafted, but I better clarify it.  Drafted?

     

     I thought of a better way to determine that.  What was his rank?

    Steeeee-rike 1. Nope, NOT "Old Blood & Guts" "To hell & back" Patton!

     

    But, right war.  The Big War.

        Was he an actor?

     

      BTW, I thought the no complaining was the tip.

    Okay Hound dogs, are you ready for one! Not gonna be easy, but it's a American.  Dead male, last century.

     

    No complaining... This ain't no weird, off the wall poo... But, sorta obscure today,  but wasn't back then when war was raging...

     Which war?

    Only one name is synonymous with: "Amateur & Professional." Good thing I was out in the yard ***** -ing around with lights on the 20 freaking foot pine tree or I would have smacked that outta the park. 😉 😜 

         I don't know, sounds like another giant carp tale to me.

    for what it’s worth I had this. I just blanked on the name. I kept coming up with the name Bronco Nagurski, but I was too lazy to look it up. 

        If I had used the single word clues like, Native American, GOAT, Carlisle, it would have singled him out.  Even "lost medals but regained them" were dead give aways.  Maybe "set olympic record" could have gotten by, but it pretty much all points to him.  Not sure if "never practiced" would have given him away.

    Jim Thorpe?

      Wow,  you are correct.  In checking information I found in a football game, he ran 92 yards for a touchdown.  There was a penalty, so they called it back.  The next play he ran 97 yards for a touchdown.

     

       You are up.

    Yes, you smelled what I’m cooking. Duane Johnson.

         I almost went back and edited my choice thinking he didn't fit all the criteria.  Guess we should have asked if he was an actor.  

     

        Inspired by your post, I think I have an easy one.  I am thinking of a male, dead, athlete.  I would have to think most everyone knows of him.
