Legend....maybe the Bears put up 51 points tonight? Good start at the half.

Sorry for her family.  But what a disgrace to have had that woman in the US Senate.  She’s been out of commission for 10+ years.  Horrible  

Sorry because of the impending fighting over the mansions and private jet?

No.  I just meant a general condolence to anyone that loses a family member.

Not sounding too good for Mary Lou Retton but she's still on life support.

Too bad.  How does she have no insurance?

Crazy about Mary Lou. In 1984 she won the hearts of most everyone in America. The 16 year old was clutch as can be winning the Olympic gold and I don’t know that it’s ever been easier to root for an athlete.

Really hoping she pulls through.

Man, this year has been awful.  I guess I've finally reached that age where all the stars and icons from my childhood are getting old and dying.

And sometimes it's a shock because you never realized they were actually like 10-15 years older than you thought they were.

Damn

Burt Young, who played Paulie in the "Rocky" movies, 83

Surprised he was still alive

RIP

I'm not supposed to audibly laugh at things on this thread.

Brought us some scintillating moments.   RIP

Richard Moll, 80.

Hard to believe he was 80 but also that show was 35+ years ago

He seemed like such a giant on that show, but he was "only" 6'8".  But that WAS like being 7'+ back then.  Actually a pretty long life - outlived the average, and by a good bit when adjusting for his size.

He was a big dude….Larraquette was about 6’4 I believe.

TMZ and Twitter reporting Mathew Perry has passed away from drowning 

Please please no

Damn, only 54. 

Drowned in a jacuzzi they are saying

Age 54

Very similar way and age as Whitney Houston death

In my 49 years I’m not sure any one person has caused me to chuckle/laugh more than him. Maybe my Dad, maybe a friend at work, maybe Bugs Bunny piled them up more…but it feels like Chandler Bing 

Damn.  I would guess drugs or alcohol were involved, but seems it could also happen if you spend too much time in too hot of a jacuzzi.

Either way, probably not a good idea as you get to middle age and beyond to take a soak alone.
