Away from the football, the entertainment world mourned the passing of James Burrows, the masterful sitcom director who shaped American television for five decades. Burrows, who died at 85, directed more than a thousand episodes of classic comedies including Cheers and Friends, earning 11 Emmy Awards and 47 nominations. Tributes described him as an “absolute master” of the form — a figure whose influence stretched across generations of television comedy.
