"Rowdy" Rod Beck Dead

9
Vote

by user SYHD

In the sports (or sports entertainment) world, I thought only wrestlers passed away at the age of 38. However, Rod Beck has proven that any athlete that even resembles a professional wrestler is risking an early grave. This is probably not a great time to mention it, but this guy always irritated the shit out of me. I didn't hate him in an "Oh, no! Not this guy! Might as well change the channel, because this guy is lights out!"way. In fact, aside from a few years early in his career, he was pretty hittable. I would welcome the opportunity to face him in a big spot. I just hated everything about this guy. I hated his stupid look; the mullet, the fu manchu, the gut. Worse still, I hated how every announcer and analyst looked at the same ridiculous visage that I loathed and said "Now that's the face of a closer". No, that was the face of an asshole. The fact that he pitched ninth innings of baseball games, with modest success after 1994, had nothing to do with his sloppily groomed head. The only thing that saddens me about his death is that I have to be reminded of this shithead one more time.   Posted by Tremont of http://www.shootyourhopesanddreams.blogspot.com

I think it's very wrong of you to criticize and mock a person who has just died. It doesn't matter whether you disliked a person during their life, you should pay respect when they have passed.

that's right. You gotta wait a certain indeterminable period before making fun. Anyone heard any good Virgina Tech jokes lately?

I gotta give the guy credit for daring to spit in the face of Manny Rule #97697534 - Never taunt a recently dead poorly groomed person whose ghost would also be poorly groomed.

You have to pick your battles.

Side note: Rod Beck lasted longer than a bunch of other people; longer than another fella with grooming issues and also that long haired hippie, Jesus.

But somehow, not as long as this sad sack.

Screw the fact that he was a tremendously likable guy from the people that , you know... MET him.

Beck had some demons, and it looks like the demons got to him. A truly sad, all-to-soon end for a guy who gave it his all for what he loved to do.

Let me get this straight. You actually wrote something about a dead guy and his grooming habits when he was alive? That's sad.
