Erik Kramer's suicide attempt falls short

Let's dial it back 10 years for some happy former Lions QB news: Former Lions QB Hipple sacks knife-wielding attacker, police say

 

Andre Ware and Charlie Batch are looking over their shoulders.

 

He's had depression issues and a teen son who killed himself too.

 

When I read the thread title, I thought he had jumped off a building and somehow missed. Maybe bounced off an awning or something. Or jumped off a two story building.

 

Erik Kramer Put a Bullet Through His Head. This Is What Happened Next...

 

That linked to an SI story I saw a couple of weeks ago in which Eric Hipple is helping out Kramer. Hipple also had a child die and survived a suicide attempt.

What two ex-QBs learned after attempting suicide

 

That certainly added many layers to the story. Thanks for posting it.

 

Good story and good video with it from Outside the Lines.

She shouldn't worry much.
With his marginal aim at both quarterback and firing a weapon, she should be able to survive a gunshot wound to the foot fairly well.

 

I hate you for making me laugh at this

 

God damn, this sure seems to be an all-too-common storyline for retired (and active) football players.

Depression, suicide, violence, fear, ugh.
