Parts Unknown was the only show on Netflix we actually binged watched.  As many have said, not surprising but still sucks because he's one of the celebrities that I crushed on.  He fault valiently against pretension and inauthenticity.  His interaction/friendship with Eric Ripert was always a real world, perfect version of the Odd Couple.

What a tragedy to his family...especially his 11 yr old daughter.  This is a dark painful legacy that she has to carry at such a young age that will haunt her forever.

Your children should be your reason to LIVE, no matter how shite your life gets with your spouse job etc, at the very least be around for your kids.

I respect and admire Bourdain  both as a Chef and Writer, but as a father myself that was seriously f*cked up thing to do to his daughter. 

I don't think I will be able to look back on him with the same respect and admiration because of that.

Sitting out by the pool this evening discussing this exact thing. I just don’t get it. I’m a bit jaded with him now also. Really looked up to him before this.

I hate to admit it, but I as well just don't get it.  I have countless eps of No Reservations on my PC and both Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw in a rather small/mid-sized home library.  I understand people can have inner demons and serious mental issues but this is just hard to take.  I'm going to have a difficult time ever even rewatching one of my favorite TV personalities of all time.    

Definitely a harder pill to swallow celeb death wise than any in a while.  Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, it just boggles the mind.  Feel so bad for his daughter.  I know there needs to be a level of respect in these type of situations but suicide, especially given his situation, is just so crazy to me. 

You can understand loneliness, regret, pain, shame, etc. but to sit in the bad feelings and let it brew to the point of terminating your own life is just mind boggling.  I'm not religious or anything but I hope everyone out there is doing well; let this be a moment. @Johnny Rockets is right above: jaded is the right word.  I'm quite sad about this but I'm not in the mood to memorialize him.  This stinks :/

Loved Bourdain and have for 10+ years now.  This is the first celebrity suicide that's really hit me I think...and weirdly finding solace in the fact that it seems he was so well respected and loved by so many (I always thought it was just me and a few other Travel Channel fans back in the day). 

I understand the take hating on his suicide for his daughter's sake, but at the same time, no clue what his life was actually like. It just fuging sucks all the way around.

The research also makes clear that in more than half of those deaths, the individuals were not diagnosed with a mental health condition. It’s a hidden problem for many people.

According to Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC:

"These findings are disturbing. Suicide is one of the top 10 causes of death in the US right now, and it's one of three causes that is actually increasing recently, so we do consider it a public health problem—and something that is all around us." Alzheimer's and drug overdoses are the other two causes that are on the rise, according to Schuchat. 

In the year 2016 alone, 45,000 people died from suicide and Schuchat warned, “Our data show the problem is getting worse.”

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
