RIP Sage Stallone

[Boom_70]

I think this thread requires the full 5 day SJ mourning period before the jokes fly.

Brad Renfro was somebody's son, too, and look how many pages he got on here (and still gets the occasional joke). As you were...

How unknown do you have to be to NOT get an RIP thread on SportsJournalists.com?

The barrier is pretty low.

Shockey hang in there. It's sounds like even with all your health issues you are able to live a wonderful life and provide your 3 boys with great love, guidance and care.

I've read many of your posts over the years and know how much that you care for those boys. You should be proud of what an amazing dad you are to them.

thanks, boom. yes. mrs. shockey has done a fab job with the stooges; we try to find the positives and like to think all the caregiving i get from them all has made them more mature and responsible people with good heats....

Allow me to paraphrase strictly for the sake of brevity:

"Law enforcement sources told TMZ.com it’s a “likely scenario” that the eldest son of Sylvester Stallone was selling Hydrocodone, after dozens of empty prescription pill bottles were found in the 36-year-old’s Los Angeles home.

“He was pudgy, and drug addicts are almost always rail thin,” a law enforcement source told TMZ.com.

At the time of his death, the 5-foot-7 Stallone weighed 188 pounds.

Authorities told the website they didn’t find any Hydrocodone tablets in the actor’s home, but did find several baggies of white powder in his bedroom — which could be the drug in a crushed-up form.

More than 60 big prescription pill bottles, all empty, were also found, enough to hold more than 30,000 pills, according to TMZ.com."


So, TomPetty, Johnny D, KJID, et al, how many people did he introduce to drugs because of his alleged "trade"? How much money did he make off of their weaknesses because of his alleged "trade"? How many of them lead a compromised lifestyle, not reaching their goals, hanging on for dear life, disappointing friends, family and bosses because of his alleged "trade?" How many people died because of his "trade?" People who were sons and daughters of someone else, now gone because of his alleged "trade"?!? Did he introduce Brad Renfro to drugs because of his alleged "trade?" If these were one of your children, you'd say the same ******* mother****ing thing.

He was widely rumored to be doing this for a very long time. His father is worth at least a reported $275 million dollars, and yet he lived in a house in an okay part of Studio City. If my dad was worth that much, if he believed in me, he'd probably have me set up in a nicer part of LA.

So absolutely hell ****ing yes, he was...expendable. Feel free to hit the reply button and apologize for shooting the messenger for making a pretty obvious joking comment.

John Belushi, Chris Farley, Elvis Presley and Rush Limbaugh are representative of drug addicts who were decidedly not "rail thin."

You want me to apologize for your poor taste? Not going to happen.

And it's KJIM.
