Drew Sharp = dead?

56 is too early.
I read very little of Sharp's work after he became a columnist. The guy sure knew how to stir pots and get reaction. He knew the business and understood the new media like newspapers going to online better than his editors.

Last year in aa, Sharp wanted to be the Freep writer to interview and do a story about the losing coach.

Former DetNews writer Bryan Burwell died at 59, Sharp at 56 and Terry Foster is on the mend. Three guys I thought would be pushing 70 when they retired.

when people die, I think it's sad

Wasn't too sad about Saddam. Nor Osama. Anyone that puts Sharp in the same category as those two is a moron.

See, that's what I mean, how can you differentiate between the value of life? Sure, actions that have been made matter, I get that. Doesn't everybody deserve a chance to become a better version of themselves though? Without life, you no longer have the chance to grow and improve, even people that have done horrible things.

You don't know any of those people, you can only make assumptions based on your perception of information. The loss of life is the same, regardless of who.

Every mans death diminishes me for I am a part of mankind. So never send a man to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

21,000 people starved to death today. Mostly children who never wrote a harsh word about anybody. RIP mr Sharp.

Henning seems to mourning him most based on losing someone to help him run up their expense accounts.

Fuck not speaking ill of the dead - guy was a superior asshole and a Class A troll.

He had no core beliefs except that he liked people talking about his favorite subject - himself.

His AP football ballots were a goddamned joke and cost MSU (and the B1G) poll position and ultimately better bowl berths.

He was a plagiarist to boot.

Good riddence to bad rubbish.

This is what I call being disagreeable. SL i like you but this is just inexcusable. Imagine his wife or parents reading this. What if it was you and your family heard someone bashing you after your died?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Stangeglove is the same dude that posted in celebration after the mother of his children died.

To each his own, I guess.

Pretty much

His last tweet was "State still sucks."
That is so fitting in so many ways.

I will agree to disagree with you when it comes to people that were responsible for thousands and millions of deaths.

You guys are disturbed

RIP. Feel bad for his family he was young.

But guess what? One less brick in the blue wall. He was a professional troll and is an example of journalism dying long ago. People shouldn't be surprised that some are attacking him now. They attacked him when he was alive and when he wrote slanderous articles I'm sure many wanted to cut his hands off.

The consistent idiocy of some posters knows no bounds.

Siding with dsr is not going to win you any points in this. That guy is a fucking lunatic.

"And I might have been, if not for Sharp."

Someone should let Jeff moss know that he is still nothing.

Moss can be loony at times but he nailed Sharp both times - the Verlander column and the Conner Cook deal.

At times? The guy is a raging nutjob. Blind squirrels and all that or whatever. Dude has dedicated his life to attacking sportswriters because he wasn't allowed in their club. He's the posterchild of the takes this shit way too seriously crowd.

really, nobody mentions Mitch "I've sat with Mateen" Album - he is the one who should be looking over his shoulder.

T&P to Sharp's wife & friends - I never liked what or how he wrote, but 56 is pretty damn young.

sharp has damaged msu rep worse than all of the most critical posts ive made in 22 years. sorry if I'm not jumping on the sorrow wagon for someone I've only met once.

then again, it's not his fault the Detroit papers kept him employed as a sports writer, since he obviously hated it.

I seriously doubt anyone here wanted him dead nor is celebrating it either.
