AT&T Drops Tiger, Rush Recovers, 'Mythbusters' Loses a Friend

By Sam Brand Posted Dec 31st 2009 11:04AM

Erik Gates was called upon any time 'Mythbusters' needed a rocket expert. Fans of the show are learning he passed away earlier this month. Rush Limbaugh is said to be "resting comfortably" in a Honolulu hospital after experiencing chest pains on Wednesday. And Tiger Woods has lost a big sponsor. This is What You're Searching For Today...

Erik Gates – When a 'Mythbusters' challenge called for a rocket expert, Erik Gates, electrical engineer and amateur rocketeer was summoned. The frequent contributor to the show died on Dec. 20 after suffering critical injuries following a 30 foot fall. Gates was in Newbury Park, Calif. doing electrical work unrelated to the Discovery Channel show. He was 47.

Rush Limbaugh – Rush is "resting comfortably" at a Honolulu hospital today, less than a day after being admitted for chest pains, according to a statement released by 'The Rush Limbaugh Program.' ABC News says it is unclear if Limbaugh will be back on the air on Jan. 4, as scheduled. According to Limbaugh's site, "He will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on Thursday's radio program."

Tiger Woods AT&T – AT&T has joined consulting firm Accenture PLC in dropping Tiger Woods as a spokesman. The giant telecommunications provider did not give a reason for cutting ties with the golfer. Not that there's any mystery, especially in light of reports that Woods has cost his sponsors as much as $12 billion since crashing his car into a tree on Nov. 27. Tiger maintains relationships with companies Tag Heuer, Gatorade, Nike and Gillette, among others.

Rush had a heart attack because hostile people who hate suffer more health ailments.

Food addicts who lie and hate have more heart attacks. Rush is hostile. Love and tolerance will give you better health.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, AOL AND THE OTHER CORPORATE IDIOTS WILL SOON FIND OUT THAT THEY MADE A BAD DECISION. STOP JUDGING TIGER FOR HIS PERSONAL LIFE AND LET HIS GOLFING STATS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. AS YOU SAID, GOLF NEEDS TIGER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE CALLED OR WENT INTO AN ATT STORE AND SAID THAT IF YOU DONT DROP TIGER AS YOUR SPOKES PERSON, I WONT DEAL WITH YOU ANY MORE!!! REALLY, A BUNCH OF BULLSH!! HERE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. AND ALL YOU OUT THERE THAT ARE JUDGING HIM, HOW CLEAN IS YOUR CLOSET????

No one really knows if all of this scandal is going to affect Tiger Wood's Golf game or not. No one can truly say he is still the best at plying golf until we see for outselves, how much he has declined or superceded in his work, of golf. case closed.

As for Rush Limbaugh: He went to Hawaii to see what goofy stuff he could entice his followers with about Our President and see how God punished him? Aha ! So ! See what happens when evil lurks in the hearts of "Men"?

Brit Hume has the only answer for Mr. Woods. "Seek and ye shall find". Life will have a much happier end with Jesus Christ.
