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.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
