Normally I would just say that guy who does those commercials died and that is too bad. But I have been watching his show Pitchmen and you really get to know the person. Here is a guy who basically lost his first wife because he was on the road trying to earn a living pitching products. He finally gets his break and is on TV and now makes a ton of money, has a new wife and very young daughter, and his son from his first marriage works with him. Things couldn’t be going better and then boom your dead. Truly sad.
What a week. Ed, Farrah, and Billy. But let’s not forget Ed Thomas, the football coach from Iowa. Ed Thomas turned many boys into men on the football field. And when there town got wiped out by a tornado, he was the driving force to put that town back together. His murder is a true tragedy.
