This.

Sad story though. I can't imagine getting to the point where I would take my own life. nikkas be walking around with demons that some of us can't even imagine.

It is sad, I think failure on that level is really hard to take too. That was your whole lifelong goal. Dude might have known he was never going to cut it, got real depressed, maybe injured and the off'd himself.

Either way it's terrible news man.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had nothing to do with football. nikka might have been carrying around some shyt from years ago that we know nothing about. It's just sad how fukked up people can be inside and you really have no way of knowing until they do something like this.

I'm still amazed that Chris Henry had brain damage due to football seeing that he played receiver and really didn't get hit THAT much compared to other positions.

Football is brutal man....

yes just imagine other players. they are all suffering from brain damage man, it's very sad.

the similarity i would point to is both young wr's whose spent their last season on injured reserve. mckinley openly discussed being fearful that his two knee injuries may end his career. dont know how bad murdock's injury was. i didnt even know he was on a roster or injured reserve.

It's true.

And the group LEAST likely to commit suicide in this country are black women. The US Armed forces are now looking at black women behavior to address the problem of suicide within the army.

I didn't realize OJ was 25, must have been going through alot mentally to see this way as an answer. Seems like suicide is on the rise.


RIP.

Seriously? I mean I guess that's a good thing the Armed Forces are trying any and everything to address it, but this seems a little....uh, out there. Do they seem to believe black women have every reason to kill themselves but aren't as a legit study of behavior?
