Late last night, reports began to surface that Playboy founder and guy that every guy wanted to be and every girl wanted to be with, Hugh Hefner, died at 91. According to the magazine, Hefner died of natural causes.

The late magazine and media mogul was a visionary in the whole “sex sells” industry and benefitted both professionally and personally from it. I’m sure many of you hid a few copies of Playboy underneath your bed in your days.

He was a unique person who had a huge impact on our society and he is now gone. Rest in peace.

Kyle: I’m not sure Tyler does him justice here– he was a pioneer, an icon, and a goddamn statesman. May the cigar lounges and brothels of Heaven treat you well, good sir. You will be missed.

This story is messed up:

In court on Monday, prosecutors alleged that Ashleigh Wade lured childhood friend Angelikque Sutton with the promise of giving her a wedding gift. Sutton, who was on her way to the courthouse to marry fiancee Patrick Bradley, stopped by Wade’s home. Prosecutors say that when Sutton arrived, Wade slit her throat so that she couldn’t scream, and then removed a healthy baby boy from her uterus.

Kneeling during the national anthem in the NHL? It might happen at Flyers’ games:

The Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds and the Sharks’ Joel Ward — veteran wingers and close friends who are two of about 30 black players in the NHL — are undecided about whether they will kneel when the national anthem is played before the season opener in San Jose on Wednesday.

Both are considering it.

In an interview with the San Jose Mercury News, Ward, who wears No. 42 in honor of baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson, said he has experienced racism in hockey and that he was open to the idea of kneeling, a trend that has grown among National Football League players as the national anthem is played.

One more day until Friday. Enjoy it!
