PICTURE OF THE DAY

ADIOS, AMIGO/AMIGA....Chess wiz and certified crazy person Bobby Fischer and flamboyant old boy network bustin' NFL owner Georgia Frontiere have both died.

Fischer, who was 64, suffered kidney failure on Thursday. He had been cared for at his home in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he had lived for the past 15 years.

Born in Chicago and raised in Brooklyn, Fischer became America's first and only world chess champion after defeating Spassky in Iceland in 1972. The encounter, which riveted television audiences around the world, came to be seen as a symbol of Cold War rivalry.

He went completely crackers in his later life espousing anti-Semite political views and ultimately calling the 911 attacks "good news."

Frontiere was 80 and had battled breast cancer. She is survived by a son, a daughter and six grandchildren. Frontiere, one of the most prominent women in the history of the National Football League, inherited the Rams from her husband, Carroll Rosenbloom, who died in 1979.

At the time the team was based in Anaheim, California; she later moved the franchise to St. Louis, making her a popular figure there when the Rams won the Super Bowl and a figure of derision in Southern California.
