Welcome to the show, clones. You may notice my unusually somber voice and that's because we've had a tragedy.

Some of you may remember earlier this year I interviewed Donnie Briggs and Michael Vick offered encouraging words. At this time, I'd like for everyone to join me in a moment of silence...

...because I was wrong about Michael Vick. He is not the MC Hammer of the NFL, he's made me eat my words with an all star performance...

What? What, J-Stew?

Wow, My Bad.

Apparently there's Donnie Briggs news as well. The former Raider fullback went from getting killed on the field to getting killed in alleys. I didn't say that, that's not funny. A man died. Stop laughing. Sure, he may not have died if he'd driven through the alley instead of walking, but that requires a ride.

Some of you clones are blowing up my phone no doubt to tell me this is in poor taste. It's not. It's not. Donnie had a great sense of humor. He's Irish, after all.

"They prefer 'dwarf,' I think, Jim."

See? Funny guy, his own words.

"They prefer 'dwarf,' I think, Jim."

"They prefer 'dwarf,' I think, Jim."

Okay that's enough. Besides, I can crack on the guy all I want.

"I'm not suing anyone."

Don't get me wrong. I love the guy. He had heart. A big heart.

"Whaddaya say? Think you're tough enough to go toe to toe with me?"

Somebody was. I'm not saying I could have. But somebody did.
