As always with many things in life, death is an issue we don’t want to experience, or wish to talk about. I myself have experienced loses, my 2 sisters and a brother and i remember how it felt. Sports has been an outlet for a lot of things negative in life, and due to this we as mere mortals tend to associate greatness with sports players, after all following a career of one of these supermen or women we feel that we know them, that they are a friend or a family member. ..So it definitely affects us when we lose a sports person to a violent death or to natural causes.
For the 8th time in 2 and a half years the NFL has lost another member of its ferternity via violence….Steve Mcnair was killed by a gunshot wound, by a deranged lover leaving behind a wife and 3 young boys,
Richard Collier of the Jacksonville jaguars was the third NFL player to be shot in the past 18 months. Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor was fatally shot during what police said was a botched burglary attempt at his Miami-area home in November. Broncos Darrent Williams was killed when his rented limousine was sprayed with bullets minutes after leaving a New Year’s party at a downtown Denver club in 2007.
Sean Taylor
in 2007 Sean Taylor was lost to a gunshot wound when armed men broke into his home and killed him in the process, his wife and daughter were asleep upstairs when this happened, turns out the criminals had attended a party that summer at his home, which he threw for his younger cousin…..
also in 2007 the NFL lost 3 players in a fishing accident Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith, who played for the Detroit Lions last season, and former University of player William Bleakly. The bodies of Cooper, Smith and Bleakley have not been recovered and now more recently Chris Henry died after a domestic dispute with his wife to be as he fell out of a speeding truck. when will this madness end another young man is lost to a senseless death and did not live to see the new year 2010.
Now bearing all this in mind a lot of these players have died due to a lifestyle or being at the wrong place at the wrong time, So how does an NFL safety formally of the Arizona Cardinals who passed up on the NFL millions to join the US Rangers to serve his country feature in this crazy circle, his life style nor past killed him but rather his patriotism did ….and ,ended up getting shot apparently by friendly fire. A noble death but still a waste why do so many young with so much potential never live to fulfill their dreams i ask?
PT as Ranger
…….my brother once said ” they teach us every thing but never about death”

At last the two teams who are trying to get back to the top of world won this week, The New England Patriots and the Chelsea Blues.
The Patriots who in the last 4 weeks have been very inconsistent The New England Patriots showed up late and sent the Carolina Panthers home with another loss. Four days after coach Bill Belichick told four players to leave when they were tardy for a team meeting, the Patriots shook off a poor first half, went ahead with 1:06 left in the third quarter on Tom Brady’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Benjamin Watson and beat the Panthers 20-10 on Sunday. The Patriots (8-5) snapped a two-game losing streak and maintained their one-game lead in the Afc east Wes Welker caught five passes on their tie breaking series in the third quarter and the Patriots ended their worst slide in seven seasons with a 20-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.
The Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints both took their records to 13-0 while the play-off picture remains unclear after an action-packed week 14 of the NFL season.
Quarterback Peyton Manning threw for four touchdowns as the Colts beat the Denver Broncos 28-16 – their 22nd consecutive regular season win.
Fellow unbeaten New Orleans edged past NFC South rivals Atlanta Falcons, a result that seal a bye week at the start of the post season.
Elsewhere, Adrian Peterson rushed for two touchdowns as the Minnesota Vikings eased past the Cincinnati Bengals to remain perfect at home.
The Green Bay Packers look set for a wildcard berth after success at Soldier Field, while the New England Patriots got back to winning ways.
December is proving to be a month of contrasting fortunes for the Chargers and Cowboys, who are now trailing the in-form Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.
New Orleans Saints 26-23 Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans edged past NFC South rivals Atlanta Falcons, with quarterback Drew Brees throwing for 296 yards and three touchdowns.
The focus of the football world’s attention was squarely focused on Cape Town last night as the Final Draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ mapped out the opening rounds of next year’s football showpiece.
In what Chief Executive Officer of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa, Dr Danny Jordaan, described as ,”a great celebration of Africa”, the Final Draw was proof that South Africa is more than ready to put on a show like no other when the 32 teams arrive in the country.
For the Host Cities, last night was a significant moment as, for the first time, they had a clear idea of the teams and the fans they will be hosting next year.
It was soon evident that football fans in the smaller cities such as Polokwane, Rustenburg and Nelspruit will have the same opportunies to capture a glimpse of the football stars expected in South Africa next year.
In reading the statements you have made, I can tell you are a stand up guy. Please remember only Jesus is perfect. You made a mistake and you admitted your infidelity.
I have made the same mistakes. Before I got married to my wife, I had a baby with another young lady, after I already had two by my girlfriend who is now my wife. We also had another baby which makes three for us and four for me. Two boys and two girls.
My wife is a much better wife than I am a husband. We still argue and disagree after being together 16 years. and I still cope with the fact that there are so many women out there and I choose to stay loyal to my wife. Read more ›
