r.i.p., bea

Well, this just sucks. It's just been reported that Bea Arthur, who had been battling cancer, has passed away at age 86, peacefully and in her sleep. Although I named nearly all of my fantasy sports teams after her, my love for Bea was unironic and I'm truly bummed out to hear that she's gone. Of all the Golden Girls Dorothy was the one I most saw myself turning into someday (well, either her or Sophia), and she taught me at a very young age that growing old isn't really all that bad. She was a funny, awesome, hip lady, and will most definitely be missed.

Dear Bea Arthur,

There's a reason you're the namesake of nearly every single fantasy sports team I've ever managed, but for those who don't understand why I love you so much, here's a pretty convincing reason:

Stay classy,
