Did u hear about the Rangers fan that died last night? Sad story. He fell from the stands catching a ball that Josh Hamilton threw him... Fell 20' head first, but was conscience enough to tell the paramedics his 8 yr old son was in the stands by himself. Sad sad story.... Guy died at the hospital. I can't imagine how his kid is dealing with this. I bet Hamilton is beating himself up over it.

My prayers truly go out to his family and especially his son. I hope Josh stays strong through this whole ordeal...

This is just a sad story... Could you imagine? This could happen to any of us....Trying to get our kid a souvenir... Tragic story... :-(

Saw it on the news this morning....very sad.

Apparently there is a video somewhere but they were interviewing a guy who witnessed it and he said the way he fell they knew he couldn't have survived. Head first into the bleachers. Very, very tragic.

The video is on youtube... I watched it not to see how the man died, but to see what the railing looked like. You can only see him fall over, not hit the ground... the railing is only up to about his mid-thigh. He reached over with both hands to catch the ball and flipped over the rail and out of sight... all with his little kid watching.

Terrible accident... and I'm sure Josh Hamilton feels horrible about it, but it wasn't his fault, just a freak thing.

Erm, he fell 20ft from the bleachers, not into them.

Apparently he hit a crossbar on the way down to the concrete floor behind the scoreboard.

Saw this last night. That was terrible.

Josh Hamilton is going to hit the crack again. I'm just kidding but That guy has more poo on his plate. Nothing like a recovering drug addict having a man's death thrown at his feet.

I just hope he understands that it wasn't his fault.

ESPN replayed the 2008 HR Derby where Hamilton hit stupid amounts of homeruns in the first round. I remember watching that in 2008 and I became a Josh Hamilton fan that day, as it was the first time I really heard his story.

Hate it for Josh, because I think it's hard not to blame yourself at least a little bit, even if you know it wasn't really your fault.

Hate it even more for the family and for the son, death is always difficult, but even more so when it is unexpected.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
