Leslie Nielsen, dead? Surely you can't be serious!



Leslie Nielsen, the single greatest actor in the history of ever, has died at the age of 84. Airplane, Police Squad, The Naked Gun series... all one man. Kind of like that moment as a kid that you realized bacon, ham, and sausage all came from the same delicious animal. Nielsen was a comedy pig. Official reports cite complications from pneumonia. Unofficially, however, all signs point to an Airplane serial killer. First, Peter Graves. Sad, but acceptable. Second, Barbara Billingsley. Upsetting, and questionable. Now we lose Leslie Nielsen, absolutely unaccepable, and obviously the work of that sick bastard Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Stay tuned for updates, and read more HERE.

Sparky Anderson announced as new manager of the Angels



Sparky Anderson, Hall of Fame manager and all around nice guy, has passed away. You know when a person dies, and everybody says, "He was a nice guy". Normally, folks are just being polite because they outlived the poor bastard and won, but with Anderson, it was simply the truth. Sparky Anderson had no enemies. He was able to bring together the clubhouse of the mid 1970's Reds, loaded with polar personalities like Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, winning two championships. He followed that up with a championship with the Tigers. And after he walked away from baseball, he never really went that far. He always showed up at events, shaking every hand and answering every question. He was never too busy to stop and give you a moment. Sparky Anderson, a good man, dead today at the age of 76.
