I guess it's their way of saying that he didn't have advanced cancer or COVID or was hit by a bus.

I have always like John, but it is like liking your generic teacher. Of course you cant argue his stats when he was a coach, or his knowledge of the game while announcing. I never understood why Chris Berman never became a play by play announcer. 

I will never deny that John made sports announcing and the NFL what it is today. But, John never put the spice in the play calling out side of Turducking.
An aside, back in the 1980s, I went to a game at RFK stadium  in DC, which Madden announced. I watched him walk from his bus, because he hated flying, surrounded by 6 or 7 DC police, as he walked from the bus, into the stadium. John was big as all F! I kid you not, the cops escorting him, their heads only came up to his shoulders.

I like what Norm McDonald said about cancer. When you die, it is always a tie because the cancer dies with you.

Got some wild-caught sockeye salmon in the freezer. I guess I will! Along with the eggplant. I'll have to look in the freezer. My son wants to grill the eggplant. Might as well press him into grilling the fish, while he's at it. Better look around for other stuff. My youngest son won't eat grilled vegies. This is all contingent on it not raining tomorrow.

How does someone pass away 'unexpectedly' at the age of 85?

If I reach 85, it'll be a surprise every day if I wake up alive.

Same-same. I was stunned when I made it to 30.

Betty White.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
