Yea, this is terrible. Stevie Mac was surely one of the good guys of the NFL.  | I DIGRESS...
Furthermore, it's crazy all the famous people who are dropping off here lately... on Jun 29th, 2009, 12:37am, StegRock wrote:What a mortal week it has been... We all know all too well at this point about Michael Jackson. But, it started with Ed McMahon, who, of the group, fortunately got to live a long life. Then, it was Farrah Fawcett, a beauty who left a goldmine to avoid selling out and being typecast. Then, Michael! Now, today it was Billy Mays, (some may think) a "mere" commercial-infomercial guy, true, but one that was so sincere and, thus, lovable that he had worked his way up to ESPN commercials and was given a TV show, "Pitchmen", that revolved around his beloved profession, at which, let's face it (and this is the theme here), he was, like McMahon was in his role as a sidekick and even Fawcett in her short time on "Charlie's Angels", if you will, "Michael Jackson" great. Jackson was surely in a league of his own with respect to his life's calling, but these were all people who, like him, did what they did in their own unique, creative way and were able to accomplish greatness in what they did. I know Billy Mays's pitches made for a lot of laughter and joy for the Steggies: "It'll make your whites, whiter. It'll make your brights, brighter," took on a variety of humorous forms in the Stegeman household(s). In any event, all the best to them all in the next level of existence. Each of them surely rode this plane of existence in first-class. |
