Oh and created his niece's FB page too (along with FB friends). SMH some real dumb asses are being exposed here today. I'm guessing the people here who just CAN'T wrap their heads around the delay in the person's death and letting others know about it are all under 20 and haven't had the lovely opportunity to experience a parent passing or other close relative. You may find it 'bizarre' that the first thing on your mind may not be telling the world a pop culture icon is dead prior to making arrangements and getting ducks in a row prior to opening Pandora's Box to the upcoming media frenzy. Anyway..... RIP Champ. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted September 20, 2017 Well... RIP.... apparently quite a character. Lived longer than you'd think of a boxer/stand-up comedian. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for my ABSURD misinterpretation. SC I was sure since the start, I just wanted to add that the new source didn't add any new insight since it was relying on the same Facebook post we already knew. I didn't invent the rules of the Derby Dead Pool, and as they insist on a proper obituary, that's the way it had to be. I also don't understant the urge to cuss some random guy on the internet, but whatever man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GossipGabe 333 Posted September 20, 2017 17 hours ago, Joey Russ said: I believe it. Obits just won't arrive until later tonight or tomorrow. Jake Lamotta was a very interesting person, and I really want to see his biopic. I heard Robert De Niro did an excellent job of portraying him in the film. Not really unexpected, but still sad if true. Yeah, not unexpected at all. And for me, the really sad thing was seeing him being really frail and not-at-all lucid on that horrible recent photo. At that stage, death could have been a relief for him. msc said: 100 (Schmeling in my head) plus 96 (lamotta's "stage age") was closer. But, you know, Maths...

JTrost1234 21 Posted September 20, 2017 Oh crap. Another one gone. I hope we don't break a record. I hope we don't have a bunch dying at the end of the year, like we did last year. Given the ages of the people on the list, I think we will break a record, but I pray to G-d that we don't.By the way, I never heard of Jake Lamotta, until reading him on DeathList. A lot of people I never heard of, until this website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
