Well, he was on a sitcom that aired for 8 seasons. That's not too shabby.

True, but had he been normal sized, he wouldn't have been able to play an 8 year old for those 8 seasons.

Word on the news in LA is that John Wooden is on the verge of passing on. They officially termed it "grave" condition.

One of the wisest men I've ever heard of, just a great philosophy on life. Not too shabby in the coaching department either. May he rest in peace.

Abe Froman retakes his crown. Jimmy Dean dead at 81.

Garry Shider. Nevermind, JR is probably the only one that might be familiar with his work.

Drew's a funky individual too!

Damn shame. RIP.

[Moose 1]

JR's not the only one with a funk soul around here. That man was serious. Most certainly will be missed.

As a random side note, for anyone interested (though not 100% funk), there's a great documentary out from U Iowa that aired on PBS called Copyright Criminals. Gives the history of sampling and they have some great interviews with George Clinton and others. Just returned it to netflix.

My buddy had a basketball net on the garage when we were kids. There was a tree that had a branch that over-hanged one side of the "court". We named that tree 'Manute' *L*

RIP big man!

Only man ever to have more blocked shots than points. Not to mention he once hit 6 threes in one game.

I had no idea, but Manute Bol played 1 year of college basketball in my hometown, for the University of Bridgeport. I had no idea.

c'mon, lets not speak dead of the ill here. this needs to be a respectful place. but that was funny :)

George was what every owner should be like. Whether fans will admit it or not, they probably would have rather had GSMIII than their owner.

RIP. I'm going to old timers' day Saturday, it's going to be such a bummer.
