I'm going to head to bed in a moment, and I want to address some of this, I swear, but I feel obligated to mention something that happened tonight.
I host trivia on alternating Monday night's at a bar in Bucktown. For the first time in four months, I did not have to work around Monday Night Football or a Blackhawks game, for which I was eternally grateful (at some point in mid-November, I came home and bluntly asked my wife what I did wrong to have to keep listening to Jon F. Gruden* every other week). This meant I had music on instead of game audio. The Bulls were playing tonight, however, so that game was on half the TVs. I was getting ready to do my introduction when I looked up and saw that the Bulls were about to have some sort of...something. And then they pulled out to a larger view of the darkened United Center, and you could see the video board, and on that board you saw Stewart Scott. The Bulls were having a moment of silence in memory of him, this after pregame moments of silence at both NFL wild card games yesterday. I did wish, at that moment, that I had the TV audio and could've had that moment of silence played and honored in the bar. * Middle initial shared with Bucky Dent in the Boston area.

Love him or hate him (or, as in my case, love him and hate him) has anyone ever done TV obits better than KO? Dude could do an "Obit of the Month" show and I would be totally down with that (his remembrance of that hockey player a few weeks ago was riveting, he gave about 2 premature obits for Gordie Howe, and of course we will never forget what he did on the death of his own dad while at MSNBC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aTU1pKN2bE -- -- TV or Not TV ....
