You've been a terrible poster for years, Is it because of your mental illness or complete lack of intelligence?

You know, there are times when it would be a good idea to just shut up.

You don't do very well at recognizing those times so I'll help you out.

This is one of them.

Couple miles from where I grew up. It's a known drug haven now.

That's just tragic.  Then again, I feel that way a long when hearing about people dying before their time.

Sucks all around.

Family reported and missing while he was checked into a hotel?

Yeah, this story has "bad things" written all over it.

Shame. I remember him as a player. He was good.

Whats strange is they didn’t report him missing until last week. He’d been there for over a month

Damn I watched a YouTube video of him doing some navy seal type training exercises just two weeks ago and was wondering what he was up to recently.

It's a terrible thing and there's a family that is really hurting from this loss. May the Lord be with them during this time.

[Cookie Lyon]

This is a sad story. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

It's also a very strange story as well.

He wrote children's books.

During his five seasons with our franchise, Vincent was a consummate professional, who took a great deal of pride in his performance on and off the field. Vincent was a dedicated father, husband, businessman and philanthropist, who made a deep impact on our community through his unyielding advocacy for military families."

Jackson had written "Danny DogTags" children's books, dealing with common issues for children in military families.

Leads me to believe that he was there on business but suddenly stopped checking in.

Likely "taking a little time" from the family, and stopped checking in.

I REALLY wanted him to come here as a FA...IIRC, he signed a 5 for 50M deal, and I still was interested.

RIP, good dude.
