Don Larsen died today, was 90.

I know this gets said about a lot of people, but I'll say it here. I had no idea that he was still alive. Well, I guess he's not now.

David Stern died too. He was 77. I knew he was still alive.

Craig announced this morning that Hugh Downs was dead, but that's not true. He's 98, and you just know at midnight on NYE he stayed up to say:

John Andretti died today after a long battle with colon cancer at the age of 56. He was my favorite of the racing family, but he was Mario's nephew and not one of the sons. He raced in Indy cars, NASCAR, top fuel dragsters, IMSA sportscars, and trucks. He didn't win often, but I loved it when he did.

He also did the Indy/NASCAR double, racing in the 500 in the afternoon, then the World 600 in Charlotte that night. He said at the end of the day, he had to pee really bad.

I am Hoob, and I remember dumb stuff.

I guess he knew when to fold ‘em.

He picked a fine time to leave us.

And there goes Curly Neal at age 77. I didn't have him in my pool. Neither did you.

No sense in checking to see what condition his condition is in.

Prop Joe Diffie up beside the jukebox.

I am the same age as Joe Diffie. Uh oh.

When I sang "John Deere Green" to Mrs. Hoob, she seriously thought I was making the lyrics up. The whole "Billy Bob loves Charlene" thing was just too much for her. We had been married a few years when the song came out.

Some time later she heard the song herself and realized that it was actually a song.

Curly Weathers, Joe Diffie, and Bill Withers is a concert I would pay to see.

Getting choked up when he over-tipped at his favorite Asian restaurant was eye-roll worthy.

He's probably most remembered for Cocoon, but First Blood is one of my guilty pleasure go-to movies and he was so great in that.
