    thats so crazy. 640AM radio here in LA does this contest every year and you pick 3 celebs you think will die in the next year. I forget what they call it but there is a grace time while everyone chooses names and then like in Feb it starts. some go for the old ones and some gamble on the younger ones that live crazy lives or have health histories. All i know is someone is making out this year if they picked those guys!

    So now Sully is the numero uno pitch man huh? think he had anything to do with it?:eek:

    I may have gotten the radio station wrong...it might be the other station i listen too.

    I sure did like his show he had with that other pitchman. I used to make fun of him a little bit because I always thought some of his commercials were a little corny. But after watching his show and learning more about the business side of things that he did and what he has accomplished over the years I now think more highly of what he did.

    But anyways I know he has a son and I think it would be cool too see him take the place of his dad and continue in his dads foot steps.

    His son is actually a little wierdo....dont know if he'll take after the ol man. I seen an episode where he ran off with the cage of bugs they were gonna blow at a winshield at 100mph to test some "gator blades" and he didnt want them to kill the bugs! he's one of "those".

    That guy was annoying as hell, but he was kinda awesome at the same time. It's too bad, and it sucks for his wife to have to find him like that. Just unfortunate all the way around.

    I don't see why Michael Jackson gets all the attention when there was Farrah Fawcet, Ed McMahon, and Billy Mays who also died, but they only get mabye a 5 min section. And MJ gets like 2 weeks on the news... :censored::annoyed:
