    Weird, Bubbler and I were just talking about his song "King Heroin" a couple of hours ago.

    RIP

    Where's Hoops McCann to post the James Brown/Vince Dooley photo. One of my favorite photos to see on the SportsJournalists.com board.

    Jonathan Lethem did a great story on James Brown in Rolling Stone back in the summer. RS - deservedly - gets a lot of shit these days but this is the kind of extensive story the mag used to specialize in.

    RIP to one of the greats. A consummate showman and one of the all-time soul and R&B shouters.
