A damn shame. Apparently ESPN Classic is running a tribute of some of his fights tonight, should be a good watch for boxing fans.

RIP I loved watching some of his fights... When I was really into boxing he was my favorite boxer. He had some ridiculous fights.

The Taco Bell Chihuahua has died

I think taco bell is killing off spokespeople. Billy mays, 1 week before he died, signed a deal to sell taco bell items through infomercial style commercials.

Sad day for Philly sports fans. You could argue that Jim Johnson taught the league of recent years what defense was.

RIP JJ

Eagles defensive co-ordinator Jim Johnson has passed also

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...s.ap/index.html

Jim Johnson, whose attacking defenses helped the Eagles to one Super Bowl appearance and five NFC title games, has died. He was 68.

Johnson had taken a leave of absence from the team in May as he continued to battle a cancerous tumor on his spine. The Eagles announced his death on Tuesday afternoon.

A veteran of 22 years as an NFL assistant, Johnson was considered one of the top defensive minds in the league, known for complex schemes that confused opponents and pressured the quarterback from every angle. His defenses consistently ranked among the best in the league, including last season, when the Eagles finished third in total defense and fell one victory short of the Super Bowl.

I'd be willing to bet on Dan Rather sometime soon. He's what, in his 80's? But as a shocker pick, I say George H.W. Bush as well.

That's the demographic that took just about any drug they could get their hands on. Things like that tend to reduce your overall life expectancy.
