RIP Ken Beatrice. Bad Pats & Sad Lions.

Ken Beatrice passed away this week, and our host offer their heartfelt and funny goodbyes to sports radio trailblazer in Washington DC. Beloved in his adopted hometown, Beatrice was a Boston native, and fans of his hometown Patriots were not shy this weekend about booing Tom Brady and their division-leading Patriots. The Patriots did lose the game, but they're still not as sad as Lions fans. Bram also recommends Richard Deitsch's podcast interview with Deadspin reporter Diana Moskovitz, where they delve into the controversial site's inner-workings and ethics. Finally, a cautious and congratulatory eye to Mike Rice, former head verbal abuser/men's basketball coach at Rutgers, who is now employed... at a high school. The second those little punks try to test me... serenity now. Get in touch at talkingheads@slate.com or on twitter: & —Talking Heads is brought you by FanDuel.
