I am pinning this and changing the direction of the thread so we can all take a minute or two to send our condolences to our brother in his sorrow filled time and use his painful experience to remind us all to keep things in perspective.

1VFan,  I am very sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you and your loved ones.

Me too brother. Praying for you and yours in this time of loss and grief. Vikings have little relevance in real life.

A meme saying "people weren't so f*cking stupid"  using the image of a guy who smoked himself to death.  OK...  :p


ummm, he died of stomach cancer. He had, and had beaten lung cancer in the 60's, more than a decade before.

Smoking increases stomach cancer risk, particularly for cancers of the upper part of the stomach near the esophagus. The rate of stomach cancer is about doubled in people who smoke.

I like players who are silent but deadly.  This is one reason why Harrison Smith has been a favorite for me.  
On the other hand, the media loves the “outspoken” bragging type player and thus those players get the notoriety and fame.
