Sandler and Leary, sure. But, honestly, Quinn or Wuhrer and talent should never be in the same sentence.

As I recall, Wuhrer had a lot of talent, just not of the acting variety.

Tigers pissed. Hes catapulted beyond "Belichek in 2007" levels of vengeance and into uncharted waters. He may not make as much money this year, but he will destroy the field without a doubt. I'd say its a 1 in 3 he pulls off the Slam.

LOL. That IS pissed.

RIP Chris Henry.

Now comes the parade of news personnel who spent years ripping him, talking about how he had an undeserved reputation and he was "misunderstood," never acknowledging that they themselves created the reputation.

[mack 44]

I think him acting like an asshole created the reputation.

While your critique of the press isn't necessarily off base for a lot of celebs, I think it is in this case. Chris had numerous run-ins with the law, including: marijuana possession, dui, weapons charges, assault... and all of those were SEPARATE incidents. I think in this case his reputation is 95% his own doing. Regardless though, he appeared to be making changes in his personal life and it's sad that he has passed. Unfortunately it looks like in his last act, he reverted to his old self, in that he didn't take a moment to think things through.

I realize he created his reputation. My point is, guys like Jim Rome or Woody Paige hammerred this guy back when he was getting in trouble, and now they say things like how controversial about him, in a very vague way without ever saying that he personally was one of the guys who layed into him. You won't see a guy come out and say "I was a huge critic of Chris Henry, I ranted about him often saying he was a bad example and he was a detriment to the league."

Please, there's speculation that he may not even come back in time for the Masters. Tiger won't return until the PGA sets rules that he can't be asked anything and nobody outside the ropes can say anything. Until that happens, he'll be texting his little chickies hiding within his gated community.

Exactly. Like how all of a sudden Michael Jackson's reputation is like Elvis, not OJ.

RIP Brittany Murphy

[EBondo 233]

Wonder if drugs, or eating disorders played a part.

RIP, 8 Mile is one of my favorite movies.

[JGraz15 53]

I don't know what happened here...but to EBondo's point, cocaine and eating disorders destroy the heart.

32 is very young for cardiac arrest.

Normally, Yes...but if you've abused your body for half of those 32 years...nothing is surprising.

Still sad.

I'd be willing to bet the abuse you've put on your body is not as extreme as hers.
