Pokemon GO Player Walks Right Into Body of Water

Note to anyone playing Pokemon GO:

Stop playing Pokemon GO. Seriously.

But if you refuse to heed this piece of advice, at least follow the words of wisdom below:

Stop playing Pokemon GO while walking anywhere near a body of water.

In the following video, some dude is obsessed with this app, staring into his phone and talking to those around him.

He"s on the search for animated creatures that sort of exist in the real world (that"s the most in-depth understand we"re willing to have of Pokemon GO) when… oops!

He walks right into lots of wet stuff!

“Holy sh-t, I didn’t know that was water,” says the man. “That was funny.”

Sure, yes. Funny. That"s one word for it.

There was also this instance of a weatherman having his report interrupted by a colleague playing the game…

… and this admission by a 27-year old that Pokemon GO has caused her to question her entire life.

We can see how it can have that effect on people.

Watch this idiot walk into a lake now:

Zurlon Tipton Dies; Ex-NFL Player was 26 Years Old

Former NFL player Zurlon Tipton died on Tuesday, June 28 after accidentally shooting himself. 

The 26-year old was pulling into a service bay at Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Roseville, Michigan when disaster struck. 

The late star was reaching into a duffel bag that had two guns. 

One of these weapons accidentally went off and shot him in the stomach. The incident occurred at 9:30 am. 

The injuries weren’t thought to be fatal at the time, but Tipton tragically passed away at hospital. 

Local news WJBK reported that Tipton was talking at the scene, so it appears as if internal injuries that were to blame for the end of his life. 

The Wayne County Medical Examiner confirmed the victim’s identity and has an autopsy scheduled for Wednesday, June 29.

“A gentleman … brought a vehicle into our service department between 9 and 9:30 this morning,” Mark DeMara, general manager of the dealership, told The Detroit News.

“He had a transmission leak in his vehicle. At some point he reached into a duffel bag that was on the passenger seat of his vehicle and the pistol that was in there deployed and shot the gentleman in the abdomen.”

Tipton was waived at the end of the last NFL season; he played in 16 games over the past two years. 

Our thoughts are with Zurlon’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Sean Rooks Dies; Former NBA Player Was 46

Sean Rooks, a former NBA center who had just interviewed for an assistant coaching position with the New York Knicks, died Tuesday at a restaurant in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

He was 46 years old.

“It is with deep sadness and overwhelming grief that we mourn the sudden loss of my son, Sean,” his mother, Deborah Brown, said in a statement released by the 76ers.

“Our family asks that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this incredibly difficult time.”

Rooks had worked as an assistant coach with that team for two years prior to his passing.

His cause of death remains unknown at this time.

A former star at Arizona University, Rooks averaged 6.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game over a 12-year career that included stints with the Lakers and Clippers.

He got into coaching in 2007 and had been with the 76ers organization since 2014, prior to his release a few weeks ago.

“Sean will long be remembered not for his accomplishments on the court — of which there were many — but for his vibrant personality, positive outlook and the genuine care he had for everyone in his life,” the 76ers said in a statement. 

Upon learning the tragic news, Lute Olson, the former center’s coach at Arizona, told Tucson News Now:

“This is just a horrible shock. Sean was such a wonderful young man with a great disposition. During his time at Arizona, he was always one of the most pleasant individuals to be around.

“His positivity was something I’ll always remember. This is a tough day and a terrible loss for Arizona basketball. We send our condolences to Sean’s family and friends.”

Overall, from 1992 to 2004, Rooks played for seven NBA teams: the Mavericks, Timberwolves, Hawks, Lakers, Clippers, New Orleans Hornets and Magic.

He was drafted by Dallas with the 30th overall pick in 1992 and played 749 career games, scoring 4,676 points.

Rooks is survived by two children, one of whom plays for the University of California, and his mother.

Buffalo Bills player Tony Steward revealed on Tuesday that his fiancee, Brittany Burns has died after battling cancer at the age of 26.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the linebacker paid tribute to his bride-to-be, a former star on the Clemson University rowing team.

“Brittany Ann Steward! Wow BEAUTIFUL is the only way I know you. You have the biggest heart I have ever seen in my entire life.”

While Brittany may be gone from this world, “I promise you that it will live on in me, our family and every single soul you have touched.”

“You have been my rock, my motivation, my heart, my soulmate, my everything since the day I laid eyes on you.”

“Every single day of your life you have been a fighter and I know this because of the unbelievable family you brought me into.”

According to media reports from Upstate New York, Burns was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer on December 9.

The couple got engaged in December, which they documented on social media, shortly after Burns was diagnosed with cancer.

Following Burns’ diagnosis, the adorable couple started a fundraiser called “Britt and Tony’s Fight Like a Girl Campaign.”

In an effort to help “other women who are battling ovarian cancer,” they had raised thousands of dollars by the time of her passing.

A press release from the Bills, Tony’s employer, also offered the professional football team’s condolences earlier today.

The team remembered Burns as “an active member in the community through the Buffalo Bills Women’s Association.”

High School Player Slams Teammate with RKO

Professional wrestling may be fake, but the stunt pulled in the following video is very much real.

The footage features two high school football players lined up across from each other, presumably one to block and the other to attempt to get by him, simulating what happens on every play at the line of scrimmage.

But as soon as the whistle blows, one of the young men goes straight for an RKO, leaping up and slamming his teammate"s head down on his shoulder.

The RKO is the finishing move used by the WWE"s Randy Orton… and you can go ahead and call it as "fake" as you want.

But this sure looks like it hurt to us!
