man, way too young

Yeah it sad, but huge guys like that are prone to heart attacks. A heart attack took my dad at 48 and he was a very large man, it is a big part of the reason I refuse to let my weight get out of control. Even big Olinemen who are in reasonable shape are normally still carrying around about 40 lbs too much, that is heard on your heart.

Still a very very sad day for his family and Buffalo fans. Wonder how Jim Kelly (one of the truly great people to every strap on chin strap) is feeling today.

Really sad. I think I vaguely remember him playing for the Bills.

All the early age deaths of former players makes me think about London Fletcher. I love him as a Redskin and will hate the day he retires, but I wonder how many years of life retiring sooner rather than later could give him. That man plays all out every day and you know his body is affected by every single impact.

Man, that guy was a stud during the Bills glory days. Too young.

You must not be very old, he was a bad ass on the line. In the 90's the Bills were constantly covered by NBC on Sundays, and Ken Hull was big reason for their offensive success.

Wow, I do remember him. Was he in SB XXVI against us?
