FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER

Rolling Stone is publishing what is probably Hunter S. Thompson's last written words. Titled "Football Season Is Over," he left the note for his wife four days before shooting himself:

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.
