[MrNubbz]

Washington was such a bad fit. Thought the Steelers was a great landing spot. Terrible!

Absolutely horrible.  I really thought if given a chance he could make it.  Thought the Steelers should have rolled with him this year over Trubisky

RIP DH,agreed thought the Steelers would be a good fit.And a fine Buckeye

It has also made it clear that going forward if Adam schefter and gil brandt are given a platform to say anything, it is on their employers

Just so Adam Schefter and Girl Brandt aren't allowed to drive the narrative

My friend in Vegas had his liver cancer pulverized, which was great news and he was doing the steps to get a heart & liver transplant, but now they found something in his femur.

I wish I could take his place, he's been through enough already.  Hopefully it's nothing, maybe it's something, but everything has been put on hold.

As an aside to the original topic (but since this thread is about dying), I’m surprised and disheartened by those I grew up with, in various capacities, already passing, few as they may be. If I had to guess, I didn’t think it’d be until well into my fifties, a good twenty years from now, that faces going back to my days in Cub Scouts, Little League, Church Youth group, High School sports, and summer jobs are starting to show up in obituaries.

Just this past two years:
-High School buddy/Cub Scouts: complications with 20 years of Type 1 Diabetes
-High School buddy: no explanation in obituary but likely an OD or Car accident
-Another High School buddy: no explanation in obituary but likely an OD or Car accident
-High School buddy/Summer coworker (Burger King/Landscaping): Fatal motorcycle accident resulting from a police chase, pronounced dead at scene, motorcycle reported stolen, warrants out for Meth possession
-High School/Church youth group: ODed on pain prescriptions skimmed from elderly patients she was serving as a nurse to for their hospice care
-College buddy: OD in Scottsdale, Fentanyl cut in regular supply of Coke
-College buddy: Homicide victim during home invasion
-College buddy: Left nightclub very drunk and was run over by truck while riding an E-Scooter on Scottsdale Blvd

Yeah but he made that comment about a tsunami or something 15 years ago.

Gilbert Gottfried rip.

Like most 90s kids, my intro to Gottfried was through all his voice acting roles. Namely the obnoxious bird Iago in Aladdin, both the movie and the animated series on Disney Afternoon.
