The Everyman from Latrobe, PA -- really a great guy.

Thanks to Arnie for popularizing my favorite drink so you pay the lemonade price at a restaurant instead of the bar price.

I find it strange that Arnie died just a couple of days after Chris Bosh failed his physical for the 2016-17 NBA season.

If anybody out there owns stock in Xarelto's parent company, today is the day to sell.

I drank a Rolling Rock in Arnold's memory.

The news tonight said Arnold was on What's My Line in 1960.


Spoiler
He had already won two majors. But the panelists weren't told his name, and his face wasn't so well known back then. Still, they guessed who he was quickly.

Arnold Palmer is one of those before my time celebrities that I knew as a commercial spokesman before I ever found out WHY he was doing those ads in the first place. He was that guy who sold Pennzoil long before I ever found out he was a pretty famous golfer...

It's just a shame that millennials will only think of him as that guy who talks about blood clots with Chris Bosh.
