Thank You For Being A Friend, Estelle Getty

Ok, so this news is so old that we've already made reference to it on our Kill Board, but it still needs to be said. Estelle Getty, shocking nobody, became the first of the Golden Girls to bite the proverbial bullet. What, you had Rue McClanahan? Anyway, Sophia had a long life, as evidenced by the fact that when Tootsie came out, all the way back in 1982, she was already playing the role of Middle-Aged Woman. According to IMDB, her nickname was "Slats." We have no intention of learning the meaning behind that. To quote Simmons, we don't even have a joke here.

So the real news is that 2007 Death Pool Inaugural Champion, Team Goldfarb, is starting to make their move. Word on the street is that other teams were starting to talk some smack, and called them a bunch of one-year-wonders. Fools, we say. You don't wake a slumbering Goldfarb! This five-way orgy of death has all the experts scrambling to learn the Death Pool's complicated tiebreaker system. We hear that at some point a Rock-Paper-Scissors duel is involved. Watch out for the Businessman's Gambit! With their past success, look for the Magoldfarbs to make a strong second-half push at back-to-back titles. Who knows, with Fidel Castro on their team, they could already be in the lead and not know it.
