Hard to miss that one. ESPN was all over it.

I knew he had been away since the summer, but I didn't realize he had been sick for as long as he was...or that Cancer returned on 3 separate occasions.

it was interesting because Steve Levy said during a telecast on Saturday that he was in for Stuart Scott. I don't watch too much ESPN so I didn't think much about it.

Sherif Rosco is no longer in Hot Pursuit. He's up with his little fat buddy.

[IPv6Freely 2100]

Wow that's a bummer :(

To be honest, I'm actually shocked he was still alive... He wasn't exactly young in Dukes...

RIP Sheriff

BB King. Dead at 89. I'm not a big blues guy, but I know the name BB King...I can appreciate a performer who still tours and works into his 80's. I always loved this collaboration with U2 from Rattle and Hum.
