SI is reporting that Southern California kicker Mario Danelo was drunk when he fell to his death off a cliff in the Los Angeles area, making a somewhat bizarre and tragic story possibly filled with black humor... and still tragic. Of course.
It's likely Danelo had spent the evening partying, as is the pre-requisite duty of any USC player on the 2-deep chart, and simply slipped and fell. Tragic? Yeah, yeah, we established that.
But funny? I dunno. It's like one of those TBS commercials where someone calls the comedy center to ask for a funny rating, i.e., "My boss keeps calling so and so by the wrong name, har!" and then the operator says, "Mighty funny!"
So... TBS Funny.... "A member of the hardest partying team in college football stopped on a steep roadside to take a piss after a night of boozing... and fell to his death!"
Mighty funny!
Yeah, I'm not feeling it either. However, this operates as a theorem for the long suspected proof that alcohol = comedy. No one would've thought to even joke about this... tragedy... a month ago.
