    Least this guy was 90. Sir Peter Schaffer dead at 90, Playwright and Oscar winner.

    He wrote Amadeus and Equus, two unbelievably awesome works. This is one of THE guys. Any aspiring writer who wants to learn about dialogue, character, and plot need read Shaffer's works. His brother Anthony Shaffer was actually a playwright and screenwriter as well, his most famous work probably being Sleuth.

    RIP, writer guy. May you counsel the mediocres in heaven.

    Some of his training partners got a call and tweeted it. /r/mma has got quite a few posts about it.

    Yeah, and it was still actively being hacked when the real NFL tried to delete that post. On Goodell's own Twitter:

    Dam as a Wings fan that one hits hard. He's be an ambassador for the team and a legend on the ice. I wondered how long he'd make it after his last stroke. He had a good life, his sons played in the NHL, he set the NHL scoring record that stood until Gretzky. Amazing character.
