You tend to be remembered for the endings not the beginnings. Because of this many people are going to think of him as "the juicer guy," just one more infomercial pitchman.
LaLanne was far more than that, fearlessly pushing exercise and proper diet long before Americans caught up with the concepts. I say fearlessly because I'm sure lots of guys in the Mad Men era made fun of this guy wearing tights and doing jumping jacks on morning TV.
Eat more unprocessed foods and keep sugar to the minimum if not zero. Everybody gets it now even if they don't practice it. R.I.P. Mr LaLanne.

One year from now, I'll bet we still won't know how much money the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greenwich, CT received for tonight's program. By dollars or percentages. Maybe the show ends with Gloria Estefan singing "Do The Conga" Now that I'd tune in for.

CNN is reporting that Australian search crews have made contact with missing teen sailor Abby Sunderland. This according to a family spokesperson. I hope the Australian goverment bills the parents for use of the Quantas Airlines A330 Airbus they chartered for the search.

$300,000. A bit more than Reggie Bush's mom would've made working as a Sheriff's Deputy at the San Diego County jail. The decision on taking away Bush's Heisman Trophy would be made by the Heisman Trust. The Trust is committee made up of nine members of the Downtown Athletic Club.

I can see it being called the Pacific Southwest Conference. Will the Pacific-10 take the Texas schools if they demand the right to create their own TV network.?

Jose Lima threw a complete game shutout for the Dodgers against St. Louis in the 2004 NLDS. Gave Dodger Stadium and the fans a blast of energy and (ultimately) short lived hope.

I'd expect to see more of this in and out of sports in the coming years. After all, what's a job interview without a curveball being thrown at prospective employees?
