i see dead people
Al Davis, dead. I feel like I should be able to make a funny joke here, maybe something about Davis deciding that Satan would make a really fast wide receiver.
I suspect Paul will have more to say about the passing of this giant of the American legal academy. The same could be said about almost any paragraph in his.
I don't often talk about individual historians because most of you won't care, but it's worth noting the death of Oscar Handlin, a historian who did more than anyone to.
A lot of terrific players died in yesterday's horrible Lokomotiv Yaroslavl crash. But the one that depressed me the most was Brad McCrimmon. A stay-at-home defenseman myself, I always admired.

Hideki Irabu, R.I.P. Good piece about his place in history and sad story here.
Though we could sort of see it coming, Damn.
Derek Boogaard, R.I.P.
