    I'm not saying TMZ was wrong. My reaction was more surprise that others didn't have it yet.

    Damn, one of the all-time greats. Rest in peace, Junior.

    Something tells me this story will follow the Dave Duerson trail of being traced back to football. Especially with reports that he shot himself in the chest - like Duerson. So sad.

    "What happened?"

    "How are you doing?"

    "Do you anticipate a lengthy leave of absence?"

    "What would you like the world to know about your wife?"

    It's called being a fucking reporter and not just the toy department. Sucks sometimes, but it's an honorable pursuit.

    If this doesn't get people to re-examine their love for football, I don't know what will.

    Amazed that NFL.com is acknowledging it on their site before ESPN.

    My first thought upon hearing this was this article by Pierce from earlier this week: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7871507/metta-world-peace-ray-easterling-our-appetite-sanctioned-violence.

    Maybe we can just report good news from here on out. Would provide a really valuable public service that way.
