Will anyone else be playing their Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis by candlelight tonight?

If he's in a game on the Wii you could use your candles for the sensor bar.

I poured out some Joe Montana Sports Talk Football on the street in honor of Bill Walsh today.

OK Phil Rizzuto, if for no other reason than his name in cursive in Billy Madison.

Yeah, her and Pavorotti dying on consecutive days just hit like a punch to the gut. I've had it with this epidemic of awesomeness dying. It's time we did something, like cryogenically freeze all the awesome people.

I just think she missed him too much to live more than one day without his presence on earth.

Yes, I'm resurrecting a long-dead thread, but it's cool, though. And no, this isn't about Sean Taylor, which is sad, but I really don't need local media beating me over the head with the headline: Sean Taylor, Still Dead.

No, but a glance to the left at the picture of Tim Tebow will show you the benefits of drinking Gatorade.

Actually, they both look like they drink Gatorade.

This is in direct opposition to Kurt Warner's wife, who may be true and loyal and good, but is not up to the standards I have come to expect from the spouses of famous people.

Evel is really sad, as he totally earned the right to live forever by being absolutely crazy.

I'm sad about Knievel, but I just figured he had to be dead at this point.

I think this officially makes me old:

RIP Dan Fogelberg

Probably what makes me even older is that "Leader of the Band" just came up on my iPod a few minutes ago. Seems appropriate.

Two tragedies:

George MacDonald Fraser, an author (Flashman series, McAuslan series, plus screenwriting credits for Octopussy)

Ed LaDou, legendary pizza chef (worked for Wolfgang Puck, designed the menu for California Pizza Kitchen)

He had achieved legendary status when he was working at the five-star Spago in LA and his own pizzeria afterwards. CPK got started by some businessmen trying to create a venture that would bring LaDou-style pizzas to the masses.
