Well, Fred Rogers, the Mister Rogers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, a PBS staple and loved by generations, passed away today. I remember growing up with him, I had a million and one fantastic adventures in his land of make believe. Goodbye my dear friend. Without you, I wouldn't be able to tie my sneakers.
Two more goodbyes for me today, to Jim Miller and James "Big Cat" Williams, from the Chicago Bears. I'm really sad to see them go, but for Jim, I'm so happy that he had the career he did. Even though last year wasn't the best for him, 2001 was a great year. When other quarterbacks would have given up being the third string, he hung in there and became the starting quarterback. And what can I say about Big Cat? No one has a bigger heart, worked harder, or had more love for the game. He gave his all for the game, even playing while injured - and he LOVED football, you could see it in his eyes. Sure, it was almost expected that they were going to let him go...he's been in the league for 11 years, but you can tell that it's going to be tough not having him around anymore. He's probably one of the most respected people on the team, and most beloved. He knows what it means to be a Chicago Bear. He's tough. Tough enough to play 144 consecutive regular season games, even while injured. *sigh* He will be missed.
