That's Just Not Cool

Kirby Puckett is dead.

Huh?

Don Knotts was one thing, but come on, the guy was 81 years old and had only ever been a rerun to me. But Kirby Puckett?

Walter Payton's been gone a while, but he was sick -- he didn't shock us like this.

Reggie White's dead too, but I never liked him.

But Kirby Puckett? Kirby Puckett?

That's rough.

It's one of those times when you feel like it is a good time to sharpie a big 34 on your hand or arm.

it'd have to be a pretty big 34 to measure up...a decent reason to say no to that third piece of pie and go for a jog.
what a terrific guy, though.
