Tragedy @ Rangers game last night...

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
