Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted September 20, 2021 Anthony Johnson - not the deadname of the fat trans lass who won the Mercury prize, but rather the actor who appeared in Friday and Lethal Weapon - dead at 55. However, he's better known to those of a certain generation as the guy who played "Sleazy E" in both "Dre Day" and Eazy-E's response track, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's".

FantasyPros is one of the four fantasy football podcasts I listen to regularly so I’ve known ‘Tags’ for about 4 years now. As a listener I only knew he ‘was sick’ for over a month (his last appearance on the podcast was Aug 4; he had dealt with heart issues a couple months prior to that as well), but of course my DL antenna said it was COVID. The guy was a genius in the fantasy football analyst industry. He will be missed. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
