NFL Week 15: R.I.P. Slim

[tyven]

if pacman died that would be the trifecta of afterlife parties. strippers and guns everywhere, oh man good times

[Chun Liroy]

First Take hasn't stopped talking about it. Usually won't get it on Sportscenter until it goes live.

I haven't watched it since it went live this morning (Hour 15 mins ago), but when I watched it this morning there was maybe a 30s thing where they talked with a Bengals news reporter. Tiger had some scrapes on his forehead and people were all up in his grill. It disappoints me a lot.

33% of bets are on Cinci, line at 6.5. I wonder how much it'll move over the next 24 hours.

700wlw is the biggest AM station in this area, and Marvin Lewis is supposedly getting on soon. Can listen live on their website.

[Akiyama]

I wonder if Ochocinco will tweet about it. He must be crushed. I remember seeing Slim on his livestream a few times.

Oh man, I bet Chad is taking it bad. You can say what you want about Chad but one thing he is is loyal to his friends and teammates. It would not shock me at all if he played the rest of the season in God mode.

Goddammit, this fucking sucks.

[SephYuyX]

Chad is an awesome guy, he was a bit arrogant a few years ago, but he got the sense knocked it to him. He's the first guy on the field to practice, and the last guy off, he does tons of community service, and is just an outstanding guy.

[SephYuyX]

11:00 for Lewis interview.

[Mizango]

Love me some Esteban.

[Headspace]

I'm not going to get anything done because I gotta see what all the shows have to say about it.

Really need to go to the dmv though.

[Chun Liroy]

I laughed at the Shaqtus

[Kyreth]

Less tragic but also big news (locally)

Vinnie out as Deadskins VP, Bruce Allen (son of George) taking over. Housecleaning begins early in Washington this year...

[Chun Liroy]

Well ESPN has redeemed itself. Though, I am still sorely disappointed with what happened with the early reports, before he had died.

[Soa]

RIP Slim, sorry to see you go.

Fucking annoys me about ESPN's general douchebaggery about the story. I watched them on TV this morning for like 15 minutes, they barely had anything and barely acted like they cared. Then, I had to fucking search for the article on their website, which was a 4 sentence, 2 paragraph one. Instead on their front page was Kobe's hurting little pinky. q.q

I remember when Jim Johnson died it took ESPN over an hour to even give it a mention after the story initially broke, which pissed me off mightily. I think they spent the whole time in between sucking Favre's dick about whether he was coming out of retirement or some bullshit like that. Fuck ESPN and thank God for NFL and MLB Networks.

Which earlier reports? There didn't seem to be much concrete information to report.

Good, I hated Vinny Cerrato anyway.

[Chun Liroy]

Which earlier reports? There didn't seem to be much concrete information to report.

Like I said, Tiger's (No disrespect, cuz I love that guy) flesh wounds were plastered everywhere within 15 minutes, while Chris Henry was in a life threatening state, but hardly anything was done about it. And even though there wasn't concrete evidence.. again look to Tiger Woods' accident, noone knew what the fuck happened, yet they still managed to take up at leasst 15 minutes per hour on it.

[Colm]

RIP Slim =\

I hated seeing Jim Johnson go through that QQ But yeah, fuck them to hell for that bullshit.

[Olo401]

Wow.. that's some messed up stuff. He must've not been all the way in the bed of the pick-up when he fell.
