Partial score: George Carlin, 71

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

    Thanks King

    Thank you for the tribute to George Carlin. I loved all his humor, political, social but his sports humor was astounding.

    The entire riff on baseball vs. football was spectacular. (Worth the Mark Twain all on it's own.) He was a man that cared about words, and what they said about, we, the people who used them.

    There will be more great satirist to come, but George will hold a special place in my heart (and a residence in either a cloud filled heaven or a nook on one of the rings of hell – much to his surprise) forever.
