Lest we forget what Bill Russell and his family endured while he was playing in Boston.

Vin Scully, the most genuine - and best - broadcaster sports has ever known, has died at 94 years old.

Here he is telling one of his wonderful stories - in the form of a history lesson - in the middle of a game, which he was still doing late in his career...
Classic Vin...

That's kind of a shocker.
Even to learn that she was 73 is shocking, as I remember her most from the 'Let's Get Physical' days when she seemed to be a very fit and athletic 30 year old. I'm sure that's the image many people retained of her, as it was one of the first music videos, I believe, and was everywhere.

Some of you may not know of this brave little warrior, but many Canadians sure will and also those who follow hockey. 6 year old Ben Stelter has passed away from his battle with brain cancer. He was the super fan for the Edmonton Oilers NHL team. He rarely missed a game and loved the team so much. Not only the Edmonton Oilers, but the entire NHL is mourning the loss of this brave and strong little boy who fought this horrible disease to the bitter end. RIP, Little Angel Ben.

... and narcotics were found in her blood.
No surprise, given the accounts of her erratic and dangerous driving just prior to the main crash.
Despite (or perhaps BECAUSE OF) being a 'famous celebrity', she was obviously quite screwed up. To the point where she was not only a danger to herself, but was also a danger to others.

It's very fortunate that she didn't kill anyone else.
