Partial score: George Carlin, 71

The comedian, who died Sunday, talked about sports rarely, but he was funny and insightful when he did.

    George Carlin...Brilliant Man...Brilliant Philosopher...Brilliant Comedian....Damn, he's dead.

    To the many George Carlin fans out there and those who posted in here....DUDES...THIS SUCKS! I hate that he's gone. I hate that there will be no more profound and profoundly funny rifs on all the stupid things we humans say/think/do from the Maestro.

    To all the "believers" who are trying their level best to highjack this thread and make it all about your imaginary best friend in the sky...

    Just go away...and take your soapbox with you. Let us mourn his death and celebrate his life in our own way...ok?

    as George would say...

    F*CK!
