Football Season Is Over: that, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, was a the title of a letter Hunter S. Thompson wrote to his wife five days before he shot himself.

The creator of gonzo journalism lived life to the fullest, abusing drugs and alcohol as much as he could, and I doubt he ever expected to make it past 50 years old. His letter to his wife showed his depression at his unwanted and unexpected old age.

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt."
