RIP Juan Antonio Samaranch

The universal outpouring from the SJ community is breathtaking.

 

Will he repeatedly be fed Coke -- The Official Soft Drink Of The Olympic Movement -- until he explodes?

 

Catriona LeMay Doan will light the flame at the after-party ... but first, NBC presents "The Marriage Ref."

 

yes - by John Belusi while he is held down by Len Bias.

 

The Beavers weep...

 

Speaking of which, what exactly do inflattable beavers do with all that spare time? Still more than 2 years to the next Olympic ceremony.

 

They wait with dread for a call from this gal:

 

Poor Juan dyed not knowing that Jimmy Clausen ended up in Carolina.

 

Samaranch was always a smooth character and had a regal air about him, but it's hard to believe there aren't too many people inside the IOC beltway that aren't corrupt.

 

I've stayed up two nights in a row waiting for Kathleen Sullivan or Mary Carillo do a human interest piece by a roaring fireplace just before a later version of the Tonight Show.

 

One less gangster, wasting oxygen.

That's a plus, by any measure.

 

Was there a single mention of Samasex in the Smackoff yesterday?
