In a world...

Now that's a minor tragedy. My thoughts are with his family.

Those Geico commercials were the best.

In a world gone mad, Bob Costas walks into a room with his agent and says...

Why can't someone we DON'T like die for once?

Damn.

The list is long, you'd think the odds are in our favor.

I saw in interview with LaFontaine once, and he improved one of his classic "In a world..." lines regarding salad. This man made salad serious. He was one of those guys that I never knew was funny, but that's cause he was never paid to be funny. You gotta think though, with the job he had, it would be hard to take oneself seriously.

Yet another great is gone.

I like how he didn't take himself seriously, he said that if he used that 'In a world...' voice in public, people would most likely call security.

Yeah I'm cross-posting but this is a special circumstance so please let it stick...
