I see your Cal Ripken and raise you Tony Gwynn.
Jazz legend Chuck Mangione, known for âFeels So Good,â dies at 84
If you donât remember him for is smooth jazz you will more than likely remember him playing himself on âKing of the Hillâ. âFeels so goodâ still gets a lot of air time. Brings back good memories. RIP Chuck!

Hulk Hogan dying affected meâŠin a very positive way. The world is better off without that piece of crap.
RIP Malcom and Ozzy.

There are unfortunately many, many accounts out there of Hogan being⊠not a great guy. Sad to say.

No reason to talk ill of the dead. He definitely said some things in the past that werenât very nice but I believe he also apologized. Maybe it was even sincere. Who knows. That being said, I was one of maybe ten kids in the US who wasnât a big WWF fan, so Iâm not going to delve into his personal life too much. For me, it is yet another 80âs icon gone which means I am getting older and older. I donât even have tons of greyâŠyet. Soon it will be more 90âs icons we will here aboutâŠsigh.

I am another one of those 10. But you still knew who he was and he was another reason that made the 80s a great time to be a kid.

WWF fan or not those events were everything to most kids back then! The talk weeks before and weeks after was non stop! Constant chatter and excitement!

I made a big blog post about Hulk Hogan being loved but his real identity of Terry Bollea being a terrible person, sadly. Betrayed other wrestlers just to get ahead, ratted out Jesseâs efforts to unionize wrestlers. Unpleasant to others in private, just kinda a bummer. Also, I would argue we SHOULD speak ill of the dead. Makes those who are living realize they oughta get their shit together or theyâll not be remembered fondly.
My post, for those curiousâŠ

Some of yâall need to step away from social media for awhile. There is no need to celebrate a death simply because you donât like someone. I think itâs a piece of crap move to do so
RIP Hulk, Ozzy and Malcolm

Im the same way, if someone wronged other people in life I dont see the need to hold back just because they died.

Iâm a simple man. Iâm mourning Hulk Hogan, he never did anything wrong. Terry Bollea on the other hand Iâm NOT mourning because he did things that screwed over other people amongst other things. Itâs no different to me than how we can continue to love The Sandman and not Neil Gaiman.

Finding a way to celebrate the art and not the artist is a thing Iâve always wrestled (pun intended) with. Sometimes I can convince myself that itâs ok. Other times, less so. Far from a perfect system, I know. My guess is that MANY of the celebrities we like are far bigger assholes than we know.
Growing up in Green Bay, we had access to NFL players constantly. I remember as a kid walking back to Lambeau after a Packers practice with Sterling Sharpe. Me, my buddy, and 3-4 other kids. We were in awe. Until Sharpe spent the whole time telling the kids, âItâs all about the money. Whatever you do in life, make sure you get paid.â
That was a core memory when I learned that a lot of people are worried about themselves and no one else. He surely was fun to watch on the field. But, itâs hard to separate that.

As a Packers fan myself and an older guy I canât say I disagree. You gotta look at it this way: He decided to spend some time with you kids and also told you, maybe less eloquently than he could have otherwise, to not sell yourself short. These NFL ownerâs especially back then were raking in 1000x more than they shell out. I understand Green Bay doesnât have an owner but the same principle applies. He was also likely heavily taken advantage of in college and other times in his life. It can jade a person.
