    Damn, this is really sad. He had an excellent show called Pitchmen which was very entertaining, and when he did that espn360.com commercial, I gained a ton of respect for him basically being able to totally make fun of himself.

    RIP

    Let's hold on a second. A bunch of sources are reporting this is fake.

    I wish it was fake. Pitchmen is awesome and Billy Mays is a hero to my brother and I. There have been too many summer nights where we would stay up to watch infomercials and nobody, not even Vince, Ronco or Anthony Sullivan could match the consistency Billy brought to each product.

    The beard. The voice. The legacy.

    I bet the first thing Billy said to St. Peter was HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!

    My Mom met the guy, and apparently he's the complete opposite of that off camera. He was quiet and shy and not at all boisterous. Weird. Anyway, it's a sad sad day....this whole week has been sad.

    Weird, I was just using him as a CAB on Fight Night Round 4 lastnight (downloaded it from the file share thing on Live). I had no idea he was dead... that's really screwed.

    Wow, terrible news. Billy Mays was the man and there is no one else like him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP

    I added a bunch of Miis to the Wii a few weeks ago...two of them were Billy Mays and Michael Jackson. I'm going to delete President Obama and Jesus before it's too late.

    RIP Billy.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.
