Let this be a lesson to all of you that "Rock n Roll all night, and party everyday." You might only live for three-quarters of a century.

Well, he WANTED to rock n roll all night and party every day . . . . but did he actually accomplish that?  Maybe he died out of frustration, realizing there were two or three days when he DIDN'T party.

Maybe it was just part of the day. Maybe he had obligations.

The condition is satisfied if he parties any portion of the day.  So that's an easy box to check.  But then he's got the challenge of having Rock n Roll ALL night.  Part of the night won't cut it.

Tiktokers don't count as celebrities but Steve Bridges was one of my favorites, just a regular dude from the Midwest who created relatable, memorable characters that reminded everyone of someone they knew.

Died in his sleep last night according to his wife, leaves behind 2 teenage kids. Not sure why this hits different than most other celebs

Doug Martin, former Bucs RB, only 36. Would assume suicide. 

Quote

A former Boise State star, he was a first-round pick (No. 31) of Tampa Bay in 2012 and immediately burst onto the scene, rushing for 1,454 yards and 11 TDs and catching 49 passes for 472 yards and another score in his first season, which resulted in a Pro Bowl nod. At the time, he had the third-most yards from scrimmage as a rookie in NFL history, trailing only Eric Dickerson (2,212 in 1984) and Edgerrin James (2,139 in 1999).

Martin's best season came in his All-Pro year in 2015, when he rushed for 1,402 yards and six TDs and had 33 catches for 271 yards and another score. 

 

Rudi Johnson, former Bengals RB, killed himself last month at 45.

Died in police custody. Details unclear at this time

They got a call about someone trying to break into a house at 4:30am..  There’s a lot more to this story that’s missing still.

Ian Johnson 

Just coming here to say this.  He's alive and well and seems to be doing fine - still married with kids, running a State Farm office, etc.

Doug Martin, a former All-Pro running back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, died in police custody early Saturday morning following an incident at a residence in Oakland, California, police confirmed Monday.

Oakland police reported that officers responded to a call about a break-in just after 4:15 a.m. Saturday and encountered Martin.

"Prior to his death, Martin was involved in a break-in at a residence in Oakland," according to an OPD press statement. "While responding officers were attempting to detain him, a brief struggle occurred. After being taken into custody, Martin became unresponsive.

"Paramedics responded to the scene, provided medical aid, and transported Martin to a local hospital, where he later died."

Martin was 36.

His family released a statement Sunday that read: "It is with great sadness to inform you all that Doug Martin passed away Saturday morning. Cause of death is currently unconfirmed. Please respect our privacy at this time."

OPD said that, consistent with department policy, the in-custody death is being investigated by the Homicide Section, OPD Internal Affairs Bureau, the Oakland City Police Commission, the Community Police Review Agency and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.

I’m shocked he made it to his mid 80’s with his bad ticker. My uncle (RIP) had similar heart isssues and flatlined twice in his 50’s and then passed away at 72. My uncle’s dad had similar issues as well but only made it to 62.

The shocking part is he's 84 in 2025 - he'd still be prime age to run for president or Senate.

Eh, let’s be honest and admit the NFL hates Houston.  Bud Adams was an owner who modeled himself after an abusive spouse and the McNair family is the biggest bunch of betas in a league littered with Hapsburg like inbred nepo babies.  We weren’t awarded the Texans, they were inflicted upon us.

Don't really know the actress, but these two paragraphs made me laugh. 

Quote

She reached a career nadir while riding nude on a pig in the 1969 film “Futz,” which a Guardian reviewer dubbed the worst film he had ever seen. “It was about a man who fell in love with a pig, and even by the dismal standards of the era, it was dismal,” he wrote.

Kirkland was also known for disrobing for so many other roles and social causes that Time magazine dubbed her “the latter-day Isadora Duncan of nudothespianism.”

Cleto Escobedo III, 59. Jimmy Kimmel's bandleader and life long friend.

Damn.  That is tough, I can't imagine losing my best friend or even any of my friends going back to the 70s (but fuck we're getting old so):

Born Aug. 23, 1966 in Las Vegas, NV, Escobedo's group, Cleto and the Cletones, has been the house band for Jimmy Kimmel Live! since the show's inception in 2003.

Escobedo and Kimmel, however, go way back. The pair hit it off as kids, when Kimmel's family moved to Sin City back in 1977, directly across the street, two houses over from a young Escobedo.  

Kimmel was unable to hold back the tears, and he told of his best friend's passing at the very top of Tuesday night's Live. "We've been on the air for almost 23 years and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way. But this one's the hardest," he remarked. They weren't just friends. They were 24/7 besties, enjoying countless sleepovers, crank calls, backyard ballgames, and "we definitely gave each other many concussions," he recounted.

Across 22 minutes, Kimmel told hilarious tales of youthful pranks, parties, bad advice, and much more, the stuff that occurs only when two people live out of each other's pockets.

"We loved all the same things. Baseball, fishing, boxing, [Muhammad] Ali, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Woody Allen, Michael McDonald, Huey Lewis, Stevie Wonder, and most of all, we loved David Letterman," he admitted. "We never missed David Letterman. And the first time I was on the [Late Show with David Letterman] was 1999. It was a really big deal for both of us. That afternoon before the show, I was so nervous. I was walking in New York City, just walking fast, trying to burn off the nervous energy, and I called him just so we could be amazed together that this was happening and it was an amazing thing."
