Crimson Tide Rolls Out
Unrevivian Jones
(Kudos to Monty)
Vivian Jones, the first person for whom the University of Alabama was anything more than a safety school, has died of a stroke at the age of 63. Presumably, she did not find George Wallace standing in front of the Pearly Gates. In 1963, she and James Hood enrolled at the University of Alabama, prompting then-Gov. Wallace’s deeply felt decision to defy court orders and bar their entry long enough to read a self-aggrandizing statement, then leave. Although Hood dropped out soon thereafter, Jones stood up to the racist taunts to become the first black to graduate from the University of Alabama. And based on the performance of their football teams, one of the last.
Fouled Out Forever
Or
Heaven Needs a Benchwarmer
(Props to James for both)
Faced with the prospect of another laughable Atlanta Hawks season, center Jason Collier took the easy way out, collapsing and passing away at the age of 28. "We are saddened by the news of Jason Collier's sudden passing. He epitomized hard work, dedication and perseverance, and more importantly compassion, kindness and selflessness," said NBA commissioner David Stern, who I’m reasonably sure couldn’t have picked Collier out of a line-up.
Fuck Off
Or
Blasted Off
Or
I think it’s going to be a long, long time before touchdown brings him ‘round again
(With an assist from GHI drop-out John)
Charles Rocket, who committed career suicide as the only cast member of Saturday Night Live to curse on the air has sealed the deal again at the age of 56. In a 1981 skit parodying the “Who Shot J.R.?” mania, Rocket, as J.R. said, “Oh man, it’s the first time I’ve been shot in my life. I’d like to know who the fuck did it.” Combined with the show’s lackluster ratings, Rocket, who had been the Weekend Update anchor, was fired, along with most of the cast, writers and the show’s producer. His career included blink and you miss it cameos in Dances With Wolves and Short Cuts, some voiceover work, a short stint as the Captain in the talking-dog cop sitcom Tequila and Bonetti, a recurring role as David Addison’s brother on Moonlighting and as the antagonist in Tex, the Passive-Aggressive Gunslinger.
