Sheesh. That sucks. RIP, Billy. Ed McMahon, Fawcett, MJ, and Mays all in the same week. Wow.

Not that it belongs in this thread, but in addition to all the celebrity deaths the Metro crash here in D.C. this week have made this one of the most bizzare weeks I can remember.

One of my teachers from high school unexpectedly died the other day at 65. Something strange is in the air.

Death is always around us and sometimes its more obvious than other times. In Iowa we lost Ed Thomas. Very strange week indeed.

This is definitely a little more than a coincidence...

Re: TV Pitchman Billy Mays Dead at 50

Billy Mays was on that flight yesterday that blew out a tire when it landed. Sounds like he could have died from head trauma like Natasha Richardson. Sad.

Did Billy Mays die of brain trauma like Natasha Richardson?

Yeah that was an absolute tragedy for sure.

Mays' death really hits home for many of us at ESPN. He was a fan and a friend. RIP

Wasn't Michael Jackson 50 too? That seems just too damn young. Crazy.

Here's a short interview with him after the plane landing. He did mention getting hit on the head.

Re: TV Pitchman Billy Mays Dead at 50

There was a very small but fierce storm that rolled through on Friday evening in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase/NW DC area. A gigantic branch from a tree right at the intersection of Connecticut Ave and East-West Highway fell and crushed a mini-van, killing a woman and a young child, and injuring a few other kids in the van. Very sad.

A strange morbid week indeed.

Re: TV Pitchman Billy Mays Dead at 50

I'm waiting for Firstdown to find a way to blame Obama and the Dems for all of this. I should be shot for even mentioning I guess.
