Stacey Nickerson discovered her boyfriend Marquise Steens, 28, dead at his 205 Guerrant St. home after 8:30 p.m. Saturday night. Police who were called to the home later discovered the couple’s 7-year-old son, Malique, dead.

Malique was a budding athlete, who played on the Shiloh Baptist Church baseball team, served as quarterback for the Windsor Rams and dreamed of being a professional football player.

“He loved football. He said he was going to make it when he was older,” Nickerson said. “He slept with his football. He took a shower with his football. He took it to school.”

I found out about this last night at football practice. Malique played for Windsor's JV Peewee team. When our JV team (I coach varsity) played them a couple of weeks ago, I remember our JV coach talking about how good Malique was.

That's a damn shame. Why in the Hell would someone shoot a 7 year old? There is a special place in Hell for people that do this.

It's absolutely horrible that things like this and things far worse than this happen everyday.

This morning, I heard about the "ninja killings" of last year, in which a group of men went into the home of a couple known for adopting special-needs children and killed them. It really, really depresses me to know that you can do so much good in this world, only to have your life taken from you and your children's lives changed irrevocably.

It's a sad world we live in.

Usually over Drugs, Money, or both. It's wrong to assume that the woman's boyfriend as into something that he shouldn't have been, but very low percentage of murders are random. (Unless you count those as a result of a car accident.)

The little boy was most likely "collateral damage." Don't you like that word? "Collateral Damage." Sounds so much better than, "Our bad, we didn't mean to kill your *$$!" The military uses it all the time.

I did read that the father had a criminal history and I'm sure it probably was over something like that. Yeah, collateral damage is one of the dumbass PC terms that I can't stand.

However, there are rumors that the kid was beaten first, then shot.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
