I just can't believe it. I'm still hoping this is just a sick nightmare and I wake up soon. I'm am so, so, so sad. I don't think I've cried this much in one day since 9/11.

Hey man, it's tough to see him die. It sucks when it's your favorite player to. Remember though, he may not be with us any more in body, but forever more his spirit will live on.
As a Football player myself, this is also in a way also for me to. The football players all over America lost one of their own brothers. Not all of us play at the same level, but those of us at the amateur level look up to guys like him while we watch games on Sundays to show us by what he does on the field what we might be doing wrong so that we can get better ourselves.
