He died recently.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane remembered his time working with Macdonald: "You always hoped he would hang around after the work was done, just so you could hear his stories and get a laugh. So hilarious and so generous with his personality. I'm gonna miss him."

Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart wrote online: "No one could make you break like Norm Macdonald. Hilarious and unique."

Seth Rogen recalled his own beginning as a Canadian comic, saying: "I essentially ripped off his delivery when I first started acting."

"We lost a comedy giant today. One of the all time greats," Rogen added.

The hitting someone till their brain reboots isn't good (understatement). But many other things like the exercise, training, community and support networks that tend to spring up around boxing can be extremely positive. How can we keep the good, but avoid using damaging the brain as a way to keep score?
